National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Birmingham W or Leicester W that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Birmingham and Leicester W.
Birmingham W form and stats
Birmingham W participated in League Cup Women the last season, where they reached the group stage.Birmingham W have played three Wsl 1 Women home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With seven home Wsl 1 Women games in a row without a win, the Birmingham W fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Liverpool W game long ago, can be stopped today.
In the game before, an away victory in the Wsl 1 Women match versus Aston Villa W with a 1-0 scoreline.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Birmingham, as the Wsl 1 Women home game vs Everton W is only four days away.
The Birmingham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Birmingham having conceded 8 goals here so far.
Leicester W form and stats
Leicester's mission in League Cup Women last season failed in the group stage.The story so far for the visiting team on their Wsl 2 Women travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Leicester's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won one of these as expected, zero of them by at least two goals. Leicester W managed one draw and zero surprise wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Leicester manager J. Morgan as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Charlton W.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Leicester alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (16 from 4 played). The Leicester manager J. Morgan has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
