National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Crystal Palace W or Bristol City W that keep their silverware dream alive.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Wsl 2 Women match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sheffield Utd W.
Crystal Palace W form and stats
Last season their League Cup Women adventure ended in the group stage.Three Wsl 2 Women home games done for Crystal Palace W, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. With 13 home Wsl 2 Women games in a row without a win, the Crystal fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Millwall W game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Crystal to get some points in this home game.
Preceding that match was a Wsl 2 Women defeat to Leicester W (1-4).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Coventry United are coming to town in three days.
Crystal are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. As for conceded goals, Crystal's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.
Bristol City W form and stats
They also participated in League Cup Women last season. This ended in the group stage.It's not happening yet for Bristol City W on their Wsl 1 Women travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With the Bristol losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Bristol City W have lost on their last two travels.
The manager T. Oxtoby was unhappy after their last game, a Wsl 1 Women match played at their home ground. Bristol suffered a 0-4 loss to Birmingham W.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Birmingham W was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bristol City W manager T. Oxtoby as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Manchester City W.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Bristol City W has managed 1 goal and let in 12 from 2 matches.
