Chicago Stars FC will host Orlando Pride on Wednesday night in Matchday 3 of the 2026 NWSL season. The Stars will look to continue their improvement under new head coach Martin Sjogren, who masterminded a 2-1 win over KC Current on Saturday night. They went against all odds to surge to a 2-0 lead against the 2025 NWSL Shield holders. This win may indicate that they’ve finally turned a corner this season after a turbulent 2025 campaign.
Orlando Pride, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win this season. The Pride started their campaign with a shocking 2-1 home loss against Seattle Reign before drawing 1-1 with expansion side Denver Summit at home last weekend. Barbara Banda was once again on the score sheet for the 2024 champions, scoring in the 61st minute to even out the scores. They’ll be fired up to get their first win on Wednesday.

Our Chicago Stars FC vs Orlando Pride Prediction
Orlando Pride are the bookmakers’ favorites as they look to get their first victory this year. They’ve been a bit unconvincing in attack recently after scoring over 1.5 goals only twice in their last 10 matches. However, Barbara Banda has started the season strongly and will want to score in her third straight game. As for Chicago, the jury is still out for the new coach. They were humbled 4-0 by Angel City on the opening day, meaning they haven’t kept a clean sheet in the last 21 league games. Interestingly, they’ve scored in their last 11 home games, whereas the Pride scored in five of their last six away matches. We expect some goals here, with the Pride winning 2-1.
Our prediction for Chicago Stars vs Orlando Pride: Both teams to score.
