San Diego Wave FC should edge out Orlando Pride in a tight contest, with the Wave projected to score 1.6 goals to the Pride's 1.04. Despite their 15-point lead, the Wave's recent form suggests they could overcome the Pride's defensive strength. The Wave, ranked 2nd in the league, are expected to dominate the midfield and create scoring opportunities, while the Pride will need to tighten up their defense to prevent a late equalizer.
