The Royals are on the road and are fighting to stay above the playoff line

Utah Royals FC are back on the road and find themselves in Texas to take on the Houston Dash. The Dash sit in 7th place and are a full 9 points behind the Royals in the NWSL standings. If the Dash were to beat Utah, they could not overtake the Royals in the standings, and are likely out of the playoff conversation entirely. But Reign FC are just 1 point behind URFC in 5th and it’s a real battle for that 4th and final playoff spot.
