Orlando Pride v Kansas City Current: Forecast, Odds and Bets

May 15, 2025

On Saturday, May 17, 2025, Orlando Pride welcome Kansas City Current in what promises to be a thrilling NWSL encounter. The match kicks off at 02:00 CEST for viewers in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and at 01:00 BST in the UK. Both sets of fans will be hoping their side can claim victory in this top-of-the-table clash.

This fixture comes at a pivotal point in the season as KC Current look to wrestle the top spot away from Orlando Pride. With bragging rights and valuable points on the line, expect plenty of end-to-end action under the lights at Inter & Co. Stadium.

How are both teams coming into this?

Orlando Pride currently sit second in the NWSL standings with 16 points from eight games. They boast a strong home record and have shown they can score freely, most recently edging KC Current 3-2 in their previous meeting. Although they’ve tasted defeat against their guests on one occasion, the Pride will be confident of bouncing back in front of their supporters.

Kansas City Current arrive on the back of a mixed run of form. After opening the campaign with five straight wins to top the table, they’ve dropped points in their last two outings, seeing their 18-point haul slip to 15. A win here would not only halt that mini-slide but also hand them the edge in the title race.

Our forecast

This match has all the ingredients of a classic NWSL showdown: two free-scoring sides, a tight league table and recent head-to-head fireworks. We anticipate both teams to press high and create chances, with the first goal likely to set the tone for an open contest.

Given the current form and quality in attack, backing both teams to score looks a solid option. A narrow victory for either side is plausible, but a draw could also be on the cards if both defences hold firm in the closing stages.
