VS
 
 
                                                      Sat April 24th 2010 10pm ET /3am GMT
 
 
FC Gold Pride remain at home taking on the Atlanta Beat for the first time. Pride are coming into the game of an impressive 3-1 win against the defending champions Sky Blue FC and Atlanta need to rebound from a 3-1 defeat by Washington Freedom last weekend.
Atlanta Beat goalkeeper Allison Whitworth and defender Leigh Ann Robinson will face their former team and Ramona Bachmann is in line to meet up with former teammate Marta. The two played together in Sweden with Umea IK.
There will be several players missing from both teams due to international duty , injury and suspension.
The Beat’s Kia McNeill is unavailable due to a one game suspension and the backline looks like being Lauren Sesselmann, Stacy Bishop, Leigh Ann Robinson, and Sophia Mundy.
Gold Pride will be without striker Christine Sinclair and defender Candace Chapman who are away on international duty with Canada. Marta is being monitored hour by hour on a bruised ankle she picked up last weekend and fullback Ali Riley is looking doubtful due to illness. She has not trained all week due to a virus.
Whoever is on the field expect this matchup to be exciting and play to be fast.
Prediction - Home win.
