After a scoreless draw against Chicago Stars FC in their recent match, Gotham FC is set to continue their road challenge with a visit to Racing Louisville FC at Lynn Family Stadium on Friday night. The match is scheduled for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff and will be streaming live on Prime Video.
Despite the disappointment of not scoring last time out, Gotham FC has shown resilience with only one loss in their last six matches, sporting a record of 3-1-2. They have earned a total of eight points from five road matches this season, which ranks them second in the National Women’s Soccer League for away performance, trailing only the Washington Spirit.
Conversely, Racing Louisville FC has had a mixed start this season with a record of 2-3-2, but they are currently riding the momentum of an unbeaten streak in their last two games, most notably a 2-1 comeback victory against the Houston Dash where forward Emma Sears scored the game-winning goal.
The upcoming game marks the 11th encounter between the two teams, with each side registered two victories and the rest resulting in draws. Gotham FC is unbeaten in their last three meetings with Racing Louisville, featuring one win and two draws. Notably, Gotham has a solid road record against Racing Louisvill, having suffered just one loss at Lynn Family Stadium since June 2023, with a 2-1-1 overall record.
Gotham FC coach Juan Carlos Amorós expressed enthusiasm about the match, stating, “We’re very excited to be here, to play in Louisville. The team has prepared well. It’s been a very intense last couple of weeks, and we’re confident.”
In their last visit to Lynn Family Stadium on June 15, 2024, Gotham FC came away with a 2-0 victory, showcasing their capability to perform in hostile environments.
As Gotham FC heads into Week 8 of the season, they are currently tied for fourth place in the league alongside the Portland Thorns and Washington Spirit, setting the stage for a competitive outing as both they and Portland prepare to pause their league play for the Concacaf W Champions Cup semifinals later this month.
This match could signify a pivotal point for both teams as they seek to solidify their standings and build momentum for the season ahead.
