Gotham FC vs San Diego Wave FC: How to watch, time, and more of Juneteenth match

NJ/NY Gotham FC has been on fire as of late.  They are on a four-game winning streak and are unbeaten in eight games.  The Bats recently won on the road against a talented Racing Louisville FC, who is struggling somewhat this season.  Regardless, winning in Kentucky is always a challenge, and the ladies accomplished their goal. 

As a result, they sit in fourth place as they enter their next matchup.  For the final time in the regular season, Gotham FC will welcome San Diego Wave FC to New Jersey.  San Diego beat them in the NWSL Challenge Cup, but the NJ/NY team went to California and earned their first point from the Wave in a 1-1 draw.  Now, the quest will be to continue the winning streak and take all three points for the first time from San Diego.

Meanwhile, it is unknown whether some of the past weekend’s injured players will be available.  However, the depth of Gotham illuminates they have multiple players who can start.  There is a reason they have won the last four matches.  On the other hand, the Wave have not won in their last five fixtures, for they drew four times while losing once.  This is despite having Alex Morgan back, who was unavailable during the 1-1 draw in May.

It will also be the Juneteenth celebration at the stadium since the fixture will occur on Juneteenth.  Like their Pride game, it is expected for the fixture to have pregame festivities to celebrate the holiday.  With many off from work and school, there will be plenty of time to partake in the event.
