The match marks the 26th regular-season meeting between the two clubs. Gotham FC holds the all-time advantage with an 11-9-5 record, including a 5-3-3 mark on the road in Houston. Gotham is unbeaten in its last two trips to Shell Energy Stadium, including a 1-0 win last season.
“It’s a good challenge for us away from home against almost a new team,” Gotham FC coach Juan Carlos Amorós said. “Houston has changed a lot. It’s a place that I obviously know well and always keep a great memory from being here, and they have some of our former players they’ve recruited very well. [New Houston coach Fabrice Gautrat] is doing a great job. I’m very excited to come here to play the game.”
Gotham FC completed the season sweep over Houston in 2024, earning a 1-0 victory on the road in May and a 2-1 win at home in September.
Houston, under new head coach Fabrice Gautrat, notched its first win of the season last weekend with a 2-1 comeback victory over Chicago Stars FC, rallying after conceding the opening goal.
Key Points:
- The draw against Seattle in Week 1 meant that Gotham FC has only lost one of its last 15 on the road in all competitions dating back to May 2024 (W9 L1 D5).
- Gotham is the second team in NWSL history to lose just once in a span of 15 road matches in all competitions, joining the 2018-19 North Carolina Courage.
