Seattle Reign vs. Angel City: Gamethread

Seattle Reign travels to hot and sunny Los Angeles for a match against Angel City tonight. The game kicks off at 7 PM PT and will stream on Prime Video in the U.S. and NWSL+ for international viewers.

Temperatures near BMO Stadium were close to 110 degrees this afternoon, although it should cool down some by kickoff. It will still be another warm trip for the Reign, who are 1-7-1 away from home this season.

The Reign (4-9-5, 17 points) haven't lost in six matches and are coming off two wins in a row, most recently earning a 3-2 win against Racing Louisville. A win at Angel City would give the team consecutive regular-season road wins for the first time since 2022.

Angel City FC (6-9-3, 21 points) is currently in ninth place and is also on a two-game winning streak. The LA club is 3-5-1 at home.

What to Watch

• Can the Reign's press give Angel City trouble while also not getting the team caught in transitional moments?
• Angel City likes to get their fullbacks high and use their wings. How can the Reign cut off these passing options?
• Alyssa Thompson has scored three goals in the last two games. The speedy forward can't be allowed to carry the ball up the field uncontested or get in behind the defense too easily.
