A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Chelsea W fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Birmingham W's 10th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Chelsea W form and stats
Chelsea W, who have the most scored goals (42) in Wsl 1 Women, have been very solid at home in the Wsl 1 Women so far, with 21 points collected from 7 matches (7-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Chelsea W has won four games in a row. The Liverpool W match was the last time out without a victory.
Chelsea W's previous game was a Wsl 1 Women match also played at home, ending 8-0 versus West Ham W (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Manchester United W and winning 1-0.
As mentioned above, Chelsea W "killed" West Ham W in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Chelsea W is on fire here. A stunning 23 from 7 league matches. Chelsea W are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Cherry Red Records Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 7 matches.
Birmingham W form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Birmingham W so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-5 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Birmingham W as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Birmingham W are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Birmingham W aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 295 league minutes without a goal. A. Grant was the last player to find the net.
Two travels in a row for Birmingham W, whose manager M. Tejedor could celebrate last time after the FA Cup Women win against Sheffield Utd W. A loss against Manchester City W was the result prior to that, in a Wsl 1 Women home game.
Goals are few and far between in Birmingham W's away league games. Only 2 goals from 6 travels. In the opposite end, Birmingham W have conceded 10 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Birmingham W - Chelsea W 0-6. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: three - one - one (Chelsea W wins - draws - Birmingham W wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
