2025 NWSL champion Gotham is righting the ship, after back-to-back wins propelled the No. 4 Bats up the NWSL standings with Sunday’s match against No. 15 Louisville waiting in the wings.
Opening the season with just two goals across five matches, Gotham now has seven under its belt after multi-goal wins over Bay FC and Chicago.
“We have played two games in a row where we’re happy with the results and the performance,” said recent addition Guro Reiten. “We always want to improve.”
The Bats face a Racing side still finding their footing, with Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to No. 3 Washington totaling four defeats in six games.
“I felt we could be a bit more confident, a bit more decisive from an in-possession standpoint,” Louisville head coach Bev Yanez said postgame. “I think [we] could have caused just a bit more havoc from them defensively.”
This weekend’s trip north will mark Louisville’s fifth away match this season, with every dropped result coming on the road.
