San Diego Wave FC is set to face Gotham FC on Independence Day, with the match kicking off at 8:45 PM ET.

What's at stake?

The Wave is currently at the top of the NWSL table, with only four points separating them from Gotham FC. Gotham FC has played two fewer games, but the team's history in San Diego is not promising, with only one win in their previous meetings.

Recent history

During the international window, Gotham's Emily Sonnett unintentionally caused an injury to San Diego's Dudinha, who tore her ACL in a friendly match against Brazil. This incident may impact the Wave's goal output, as Dudinha has become an important presence in the attack this season.

The match will be available to stream on various platforms, including Gotham's social media accounts and the NWSL website. Fans can also follow the game on ESPN.com, with kickoff scheduled for 5:45 PM PT. San Diego Wave FC will look to maintain their lead in the NWSL table, while Gotham FC aims to move up the standings with a win on the road.
