It's fixture two of the Women's Super League season and a lot to play for. Check out our thorough preview of Arsenal W-Brighton W!

Arsenal W form and stats

The season before, Arsenal W's league results were 17 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, producing 2nd position in the Women's Super League. Over these 22 matches they scored 65 goals and let in 10. Appearing at home in the previous season Arsenal W managed 10-1-0 (win-draw-lost) with 40 goals and 6 conceded. The hosts won their first Women's Super League game here at Meadow Park, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Arsenal W last season were 10 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses from 11 games.

The Arsenal goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 638 minutes without conceding a goal in the Women's Super League.

Arsenal W's last game was hosting Brighton W (placed 12th) and winning 4-0. As mentioned above, Arsenal W "killed" Brighton W in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting West Ham W.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Arsenal W have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 35 games found in the database showing 33 Arsenal wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats.

Arsenal W has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Brighton W form and stats

Let's have a look at how Brighton W performed last season in the Club Friendlies Women: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 2 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 24 and conceded 38 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 0 and lost 7 with 13/20 goals scored/conceded. The visitors' first away game in the Women's Super League ended in defeat. Last season Brighton W had these away match statistics: Played 11; won 4, drew 0 and lost 7.

Brighton W play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Arsenal W (placed 1st). Brighton lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Everton W.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 23 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with 4 wins, 3 draws and 16 defeats. 12 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Brighton W has managed 0 goals and let in 4 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Arsenal W have been victorious in every one of the 7 latest fixtures versus this team. Something to take note of?

The newest registered result featuring both these teams is the Arsenal W - Brighton W 4-0 played not long ago this season.
