As you see from the result above, Brighton W suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Two away games in a row for Reading, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Manchester United W. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Manchester United W was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A 0-1 defeat away at Birmingham W before that.As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Reading W has managed 0 goals and let in 4 from 1 match.
