Current streaks

Recent form

Aston Villa Women

Aston Villa Women have shown a mixed bag of form recently, with their last six games featuring a notable turnaround. After suffering back-to-back losses against Tottenham Hotspur Women and Arsenal Women, they've embarked on an impressive three-game winning streak, scoring 16 goals in the process. Their 9-0 thrashing of Bristol Rovers W in the FA Women's Cup stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, demonstrating their potential for ruthlessness in front of goal. Despite their current 8th position in the league, Villa's recent form suggests they're on an upward trajectory, with their goal-scoring prowess evident in their average of 2.83 goals per game over the last six matches. However, their defensive record remains a concern, having kept only one clean sheet during this period. The team's ability to produce high-scoring games is further underlined by the fact that 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals.

Manchester City Women

Manchester City Women have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a balanced record of three wins and three losses in their last six games. The team have demonstrated their scoring prowess, netting 12 goals in this period, averaging 2 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 9 goals at an average of 1.5 per match. Notably, City have managed three clean sheets, including a commanding 4-0 victory over Leicester Women in the Women's Super League. The majority of their matches (83%) have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. Their most recent outing resulted in a 4-2 defeat to local rivals Manchester United Women, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. Despite currently sitting 4th in the league table, City's inconsistent form suggests they may need to shore up their defence to maintain their position and challenge for higher places.

Recent home/away form

Aston Villa Women

Aston Villa Women have been in impressive form at home, currently enjoying a four-game winning streak across all competitions. Their recent performances have been particularly noteworthy, with the team scoring a remarkable 19 goals in their last four home matches. The standout result was a resounding 9-0 victory over Bristol Rovers Women in the FA Women's Cup, showcasing their attacking prowess. Villa have been consistently high-scoring at home, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite conceding in four of their last six home games, their offensive output has more than compensated, resulting in a positive goal difference of 14. The team's ability to find the back of the net, averaging 3.33 goals per game in their last six home fixtures, has been crucial to their recent success and has helped them overcome a slow start to their Women's Super League campaign.

Manchester City Women

Manchester City Women's recent away form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches resulting in an even split of three wins and three losses. The team are currently experiencing a concerning run of two consecutive defeats, having lost to Barcelona Women and Everton Women in their most recent outings. Interestingly, their away matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games featuring over 2.5 goals and an impressive average of 3.17 total goals per match. Despite this attacking prowess, City have struggled defensively, conceding 1.67 goals per game and managing just one clean sheet in their last six away fixtures. Their 3-2 victory against St. Pölten Women stands out as a particularly thrilling encounter, showcasing both their offensive capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities on the road.
