The Wsl 1 Women league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Reading W and Birmingham W are placed 6th and 10th respectively.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Reading W form and stats
The hosts won their first Wsl 1 Women game here at Madejski Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Reading W last season were 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses from 8 games.
A strong away win before that one, visiting West Ham W and winning 1-0.
As mentioned above, Reading "killed" Charlton W in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Reading W home games with this odds we find two games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in two wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, one match were won by at least two goals.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Reading W at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Birmingham W form and stats
Birmingham W have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Wsl 1 Women were 1 victory, 0 draws and 6 defeats from 7 fixtures. It's a growing despair in Birmingham W as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The game before that, in the Wsl 1 Women, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Chelsea W.
C. Walker came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Blackburn Rovers last time out, making the manager C. Ward feel like a tactical genius.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Birmingham W played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.
0 goals so far away for Birmingham W, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Last six meetings between the teams: Reading won two, Birmingham W won two and two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
