Angel City W vs Seattle Reign FC

Angel City’s 1—0 win over Seattle last October was its second victory in 11 meetings with the Reign in all competitions (D1 L8). Seattle’s eight wins over Angel City since the beginning of 2022 are tied for the most by any NWSL team against another (all comps) in that time with Seattle’s eight against San Diego and Kansas City’s eight versus Houston.

Angel City has started its season with a pair of 1—1 draws against San Diego and Portland. Angel City has never drawn three consecutive games in club history while only three NWSL teams have started a regular season with three straight draws (Louisville (4) in 2024, Orlando in 2024 and Louisville in 2023).

Seattle has secured four points (W1 D1) through two games this season, the sixth time the Reign have gone unbeaten in their first two games of a season. The Reign have only started a regular season with a longer unbeaten streak once, a 16-game run to begin the 2014 campaign.

Gisele Thompson had the assist on Angel City’s goal in its draw with Portland on Friday. Dating back to last season, Angel City’s last six goals have been assisted (four by the Thompson sisters with two each) with the club never having seven straight regular-season goals be assisted.

Jordyn Bugg’s long-range strike in the Reign’s 2—1 win over the Courage had an xG of just 0.028, the lowest on any goal scored in the NWSL this season. It was also the third-lowest xG on a goal by an NWSL defender since the beginning of last season.
