Birmingham W form and stats
Birmingham W's struggle is real here at SportNation.bet Stadium with only 2 points collected from 8 Women's Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-2-6. All in all it has been a very rough period for Birmingham who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Aston Villa W, 161 days ago. With eight home Women's Super League games in a row without a win, the Birmingham fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Manchester United W game long ago, can be stopped today.
Prior to that, an away loss at Chelsea W in the Women's Super League.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Birmingham W played a great game against Coventry United and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Aston Villa W are coming to town in three days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Birmingham means that they have only scored 4 goals in 8 league home games, less than half a goal per match. As for conceded goals, Birmingham's unpleasant statistic is 21 goals surrendered.
