Top games to watch on matchday nine in the NWSL

Racing Louisville vs Washington Spirit: Racing Louisville have won just one of their last five matches but will be hoping that their home pitch advantage could give them an added boost as they prepare to host Washington Spirit on Friday. The Spirit, for their part, come into this match having won three of their last five NWSL ties and currently sit in third place. A win for the visitors could see them rise to second, and possibly even temporarily seize top spot before current league leaders Kansas City Current and Orlando Pride play their games over the weekend.

Orlando Pride vs Bay FC: Orlando Pride have arguably been the most in-form side as of late, and will be aiming to make it a sixth win on the trot when they welcome Bay FC this weekend. As for the visitors, who are one of two new sides featuring in the NWSL this season, they have had a really difficult start to their inaugural campaign - despite making huge waves with some major signings leading up to the current season. A win for the Pride will help them leap-frog Kansas City Current into top spot as they will be playing on Saturday, nearly 24 hours before the Current take to the pitch.

Kansas City Current vs North Carolina Courage: After a bright start, Kansas City have hit a rough spell. Although they are still unbeaten so far this season, the Current have drawn their last two games, which has allowed a recently resurgent Orlando Pride to rapidly close the gap on them at the top of the table. Given that the Current will be playing on Sunday, they could find themselves knocked out of top spot even before taking to the pitch, which will add even more pressure on them ahead of their upcoming clash against North Carolina Courage. Meanwhile, the Courage will be naturally aiming to avoid what would be a third straight loss in the league as another negative result will certainly see them tumbling further down the table.
