National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sunderland W or Aston Villa W that keep their silverware dream alive.
Sunderland W and Aston Villa W should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Sunderland W form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Sunderland W have to build on here at Eppleton Colliery Football Ground in the Wsl 2 Women. Game days at Eppleton Colliery Football Ground have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Sunderland as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
The Sunderland fans got no joy from their last match, a Wsl 2 Women game also here at Eppleton Colliery Football Ground: A 1-3 defeat against Liverpool W.
1-1 away at Watford W before that.Sunderland aren't scoring a lot here at Eppleton Colliery Football Ground in the league, with only 4 goals from 5 games. Sunderland have conceded 8 from these games.
Aston Villa W form and stats
Last season their League Cup Women adventure ended in the quarter-finals.As the visiting team in Wsl 1 Women matches, Aston Villa W have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Villa, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Manchester City W. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Manchester City W was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The game before that, in the League Cup Women, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Sheffield Utd W.The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Aston Villa W have conceded 9 goals in these games.
