National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Manchester City W or Aston Villa W that keep their silverware dream alive.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Manchester City W form and stats
This stadium, Academy Stadium, has been a fortress for Manchester City W in the Wsl 1 Women so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-1-0. Manchester City W has a nice streak going on as they have played 15 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Chelsea W defeat 187 days ago. Manchester has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Academy Stadium. We remember; it was Brighton W.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Manchester, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 573 minutes in the Wsl 1 Women.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Wsl 1 Women game versus Chelsea W in only four days. This game is also played here at Academy Stadium.
It's goals goals goals for Manchester who have scored 30 goals from 9 league home games. As for guarding their own goal, Manchester have only let in 3 goals at home.
Aston Villa W form and stats
Aston Villa W's mission in FA Cup Women last season failed in the 4th round.There's been little loot from Aston Villa W's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Wsl 1 Women. Aston Villa W only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. Bitter travels for Villa as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Bristol City W match. It's looking increasingly bleak for Villa who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Tottenham W was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Villa has another fixture away, a Wsl 1 Women game, against West Ham W in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Villa have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Villa's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 21 goals in 8 travels.
Head 2 Head
As for the last three games between these two teams, there's three Manchester victories, zero draws and zero Aston Villa W wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
