MATCH PREVIEW
    APRIL 23, 2022

    NJ/NY Gotham FC will wrap up the 2022 Challenge Cup
    against the Orlando Pride on Saturday, April 23. Kickoff
    is slated for 3 p.m. ET at Red Bull Arena. Fans can catch
    the game live on Paramount+ and Twitch internationally.

    Saturday’s match will be presented by Hackensack Meridian
    Health. At halftime, Gotham FC is proud to welcome HMH
    Heroes, who will be honored on the pitch.

    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
    Gotham FC (1-2-2, five points) was topped by Washington,
    3-1, on Sunday to eliminate them from advancing in the
    Challenge Cup. Nahomi Kawasumi netted a quick goal,
    but the Spirit scored three unanswered to take the road
    victory.

    Orlando received a brace from Darian Jenkins, but fell
    to North Carolina, 4-2, on Apr. 16. After opening the
    Challenge Cup with a draw, the Pride have dropped their
    last four matches and been outscored 10-3.

    ALL-TIME AGAINST THE PRIDE
    Gotham FC is 6-6-4 all-time against Orlando after Gotham
    FC took a 1-0 win on the road on March 30. In their two
    all-time Challenge Cup meetings, Gotham FC has won each
    match by a 1-0 score.

    In the last five meetings, Gotham FC is 3-1-1 against
    Orlando with the one loss coming at Red Bull Arena (0-1)
    last August.
