Proud to travel to Utah, in the hope of correcting the ship

Orlando’s pride looked shaky in the past few weeks, lost to the current Kansas City last weekend and reduced the league classification. You have the chance to be right this weekend with a road trip against a weak enemy.

Third place in Orlando (5-3-1, 16 points) will travel against the Utah Royals (1-6-2, 5 points) on Friday evening.

“At this point after you won a championship last year, you will get the best game of everyone,” said Orlando, Carson Pickett. “We just have to continue to be and play how we know how we can play and cancel teams.”

The defense of Orlando was his strength last season, but it has to struggle in the last five games. The pride has not managed a clean sheet since April 12th on April 12th. The gates in the back injured the pride and they lost three of their last five games.

The good news for Orlando is that Utah only achieves an average of 0.78 goals per game. The Royals only scored seven times in nine games, and no player scored more than one goal this season. It is the perfect opportunity for Orlando to earn a clean sheet and to rebuild trust.

However, Orlando also lacked attacks. The pride has only scored four goals in the last five games, three of which came over Angel City in the 3-2 victory. Marta (3G, 1a) and Barbra Banda (4G, 1a) lead the team in the goal and you will try to use a defense in Utah that has approved 16 goals this season.

“I think we can do it better in the last third,” continued Pickett. “The dynamic is there, we were not exceeded or something, we had most of the possession in every game.
