Perhaps a welcome break from league football as West Ham W & Reading W face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup Women. All the pre-match information is available here!
West Ham W form and stats
Last season their League Cup Women adventure ended in the group stage.Three Wsl 1 Women home games done for West Ham W, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for West Ham W with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Tottenham W game, 59 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at Chigwell Construction Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
The Ham crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-4 to Manchester United W here at Chigwell Construction Stadium in a Wsl 1 Women match. A Wsl 1 Women defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Everton W.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The manager M. Beard will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Birmingham W in only four days.
The Ham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. West Ham W have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
Reading W form and stats
Reading W was sent out of League Cup Women in the quarter-finals last season.Things could have gone better for Reading W in their Wsl 1 Women away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Wsl 1 Women trip to Tottenham W.
