Match preview
Angel City W welcome Bay FC W to Los Angeles sitting fifth in the NWSL table with 46 points from 28 matches, safely positioned in the playoff quarter-final zone.

Based on at least 20 settled predictions.2 published markets
Angel City average 1.7 goals per match across the season and have found the net three times in three of their past five fixtures. They face a Bay FC side that has allowed 44 goals in 28 league matches, including an away concession rate of 1.8 goals per game. Bay FC have also contributed to high goal counts recently, with four of their last five matches producing four or more total goals. The previous meeting between these sides earlier this season concluded in a 3-1 victory for Angel City. Given the visitors defensive frailties away from home and the hosts potent frontline, the match provides ample evidence to expect three or more total goals rather than stopping at the lower line.
