The 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup is back with two Eastern Division matchups on Monday evening. Racing Louisville will host North Carolina Courage at 6 p.m. ET, and Kansas City will take on the Houston Dash at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Paramount+ will stream live both games in the USA, and Twitch will take care of the international stream. 

Racing Louisville vs. NC Courage – Paramount+ 

Racing Louisville will look to win its first home game at Lynn Family Stadium against the North Carolina Courage on Monday at 6 p.m. ET. Racing is currently last in the Eastern Division table with one point after two games.  

Louisville drew 2-2 against the Orlando Pride on opening weekend and then lost to the Washington Spirit 1-0 last Thursday. Racing saw plenty of action in the dying minutes of both games. On opening weekend, the Pride scored in the 87th minute to go up 2-1 before Brooke Hendrix drew the game in added time. Last Thursday, the new NWSL club lost to an added time game-winning goal scored by forward Ashley Sanchez. 

Racing Louisville head coach Christy Holly will aim to defeat the Courage on Monday, Gotham FC on Sunday, and some help from other results to reach the final.  

The NC Courage, on the other hand, is in a better position to qualify for the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup. With a win 3-2 on opening weekend against the Washington Spirit and a 4-3 loss to Gotham FC last Tuesday, the Courage has three points and will look to make it nine with wins over Louisville and the Orlando Pride. 

North Carolina head coach Paul Riley should be satisfied with his team's offensive efforts so far in the competition. The Courage leads the tournament in goals, with seven after just two games. Attacking players like Jessica McDonald, Hailie Mace and Debinha have been North Carolina's key players. However, the team's defense has conceded just as many goals – six.

Kansas City vs. Houston dash – Paramount+ 

The Houston Dash will pay a visit to Kansas City at Children's Mercy Park on Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET. Both sides will play for pride, given that the Portland Thorns secured first place in the Western Division after winning their first three games.  

After two goalless draws against the Chicago Red Stars and OL Reign, reigning champions Houston Dash is still on the lookout for their first goal. English forward Rachel Daly is back from international duty and ready to lead her team to victory. 

Kansas City captain Amy Rodriguez will look for her third goal in three games on Monday. KC NWSL has one point after a defeat against Portland and a draw against Chicago.
