Reading W form and stats

Reading W have played three Women's Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Reading enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Crystal Palace W's place. The match ended 3-1 with B. Chaplen (2) and G. Evans scoring.

2-2 away at West Ham W before that.

Reading W are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Reading with 7 goals conceded in these matches.

Brighton W form and stats

It's gone fairly well in the Women's Super League away games so far for Brighton W with six points collected from three matches.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Brighton goalkeeper Megan Walsh is eager to challenge this, with his 182 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Home advantage was not enough for Brighton in their previous game, as they lost their League Cup Women-match, hosting Millwall W, 0-1.

Before that, Brighton W secured a home win against Leicester W with the score 1-0.

Brighton have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 7 goals from 3 away matches. 3 goals have been conceded by Brighton W in these games.
