And that also solves your original problem.

This statement:

df1['Difference'] = df1.loc['Current Team'].str.lower().str.strip() == df1.loc['New Team'].str.lower().str.strip()

should not use .loc, because then you are selecting rows, not columns, but:

df1['Difference'] = df1['Current Team'].str.lower().str.strip() == df1['New Team'].str.lower().str.strip()
