Current streaks

Recent form

Leicester Women

Leicester Women have had a mixed run of form in their recent matches, struggling to find consistency in the Women's Super League. Despite sitting 10th in the table, they have shown flashes of potential, particularly in their 3-0 victory over Aston Villa Women. However, their defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding 13 goals in their last six matches, including a heavy 5-1 defeat to Arsenal Women in their most recent outing. The Foxes have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with four of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals. Their inability to keep clean sheets is a concern, having gone five matches without one. Despite these challenges, Leicester have managed to score in five of their last six matches, demonstrating their attacking capabilities even in defeat.

Manchester City Women

Manchester City Women have experienced a mixed run of form in recent matches, currently sitting 4th in the Women's Super League with 36 points from 19 games. Their last six games have yielded two wins, one draw, and three losses, indicating inconsistent performances. The team have struggled defensively, conceding nine goals in these six matches and keeping only one clean sheet, which came in their impressive 2-0 victory over Chelsea Women in the Champions League. City's goal-scoring has also been somewhat lacklustre, averaging just one goal per game in this period. Notably, they've faced tough opposition, with three matches against title contenders Chelsea Women, resulting in one win and two losses. The recent 1-1 draw with Everton Women ended a run of three consecutive games without a clean sheet, but City will be keen to improve their defensive record, having gone five matches without a shutout prior to this result.

Recent home/away form

Leicester Women

Leicester Women have been in impressive form at home recently, enjoying a four-match unbeaten run in their last five fixtures at their own ground. The Foxes have secured four wins and two draws in their previous six home games, showcasing their resilience and attacking prowess. Notably, they embarked on a four-game winning streak at home before their most recent draw against Tottenham Hotspur Women. Leicester have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 14 times in these six matches, with an average of 2.33 goals per game. Their 4-1 victory over Stoke City W in the FA Women's Cup stands out as a high-scoring encounter. Defensively, they've also shown improvement, conceding only six goals in this period and keeping a clean sheet in their 3-0 triumph over Aston Villa Women. Despite their 10th position in the league, Leicester Women's recent home form suggests they are a formidable opponent on their own turf.

Manchester City Women

Manchester City Women have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins earlier in the year. However, their away performances have taken a dip recently, with two losses sandwiched between a draw and a win. The team have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their last six away games seeing over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, despite their attacking prowess, scoring 1.33 goals per game on average, City have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. Their defensive vulnerabilities are further highlighted by the fact that they've conceded more goals (9) than they've scored (8) in this period, resulting in a negative goal difference. The team's ability to find the net consistently is evident, with both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures, suggesting exciting, end-to-end football in their away games.
