Recent form

Crystal Palace Women

Crystal Palace Women are currently experiencing a challenging period in their season, sitting 12th in the league table with just 9 points from 20 games. The team's recent form has been particularly poor, with a concerning run of four consecutive defeats in their last five matches. Their defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding a staggering 20 goals in their last six games, including a 7-1 thrashing by West Ham Women in their most recent outing. The Eagles have struggled to keep clean sheets, with their last one coming eight games ago. Their attacking output has also been lacklustre, scoring only 4 goals in the last six matches. Notably, 83% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs, albeit largely to their detriment. The sole bright spot in this difficult period was a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa Women, which briefly interrupted their losing streak.

Leicester Women

Leicester Women have been struggling in recent matches, currently sitting 11th in the Women's Super League with 16 points from 20 games. Their form has been poor, with four losses in their last six matches, including a current run of two consecutive defeats. The Foxes have been particularly vulnerable defensively, conceding 14 goals in their last six games and failing to keep a clean sheet in that period. Their 5-1 loss to Arsenal Women stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, highlighting their defensive frailties. Despite these challenges, Leicester have shown some attacking promise, scoring in four of their last six matches and managing a 3-2 victory over Brighton Women. However, their goal difference of -8 in the last six games underscores the need for significant improvement at both ends of the pitch if they hope to climb the table.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace Women

Crystal Palace Women's recent home form has been inconsistent, with two wins and four losses in their last six matches at Selhurst Park. The Eagles have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2.67 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet during this period. Their most recent home fixture saw a particularly heavy defeat, losing 7-1 to West Ham Women in the Women's Super League. On the positive side, Palace have managed to score in five of these six matches, including a convincing 3-1 victory over Aston Villa Women. The team's matches have tended to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, Palace have shown they can be competitive at home, as evidenced by their 2-0 FA Women's Cup victory over Newcastle United Women.

Leicester Women

Leicester Women's recent away form has been dire, with the team suffering a concerning run of six consecutive defeats on the road. Their defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding a staggering 18 goals in these six matches, averaging 3 goals conceded per game. The Foxes have struggled to find the back of the net themselves, scoring only 4 goals in this period, with an average of just 0.67 goals per game. Notably, their heaviest defeat came in their most recent away fixture, a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal Women. Despite their poor form, Leicester have managed to score in 67% of these matches, indicating they can still pose some threat going forward. However, their inability to keep a clean sheet in any of these games highlights the urgent need for defensive improvement if they hope to climb from their lowly 11th position in the league.
