The home team returns to St. Mary's Stadium after drawing with Blackburn Rovers W on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.
Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Coventry United W.Southampton W are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Southampton are not conceding a lot of goals here at St. Mary's Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 4 matches.
Reading W form and stats
Reading W's mission in League Cup Women last season failed in the group stage.0 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Reading W playing as the away team in the Wsl 1 Women this season.
Reading delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Liverpool W in their previous match. As you can tell from the result, the match against Liverpool W was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, Reading W drew the match against Liverpool W. Manager Chambers brought on Troelsgaard to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
It was a Wsl 1 Women defeat before that one as the away game against Aston Villa W wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.It's early days yet, but Reading W has scored 4 and conceded 12 goals from their travels in the league so far (4 games).
