Manchester City Women vs Crystal Palace Women

Current streaks

Recent form

Manchester City Women

Manchester City Women have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team's goal-scoring prowess has been somewhat muted, averaging just one goal per game, while their defence has conceded an average of 1.5 goals per match. Notably, City have struggled in high-stakes encounters, suffering a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea Women in the Champions League and a 2-0 loss to local rivals Manchester United Women in the FA Women's Cup. Their league position of 4th with 40 points from 21 games suggests a reasonably competitive season, though there's room for improvement. The team have managed only one clean sheet in their last six matches, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Interestingly, half of their recent games have seen both teams score, with an even split between matches featuring over and under 2.5 goals, indicating a degree of unpredictability in their performances.

Crystal Palace Women

Crystal Palace Women have been struggling in recent matches, with only one win in their last six games. Their defensive frailties are particularly evident, having conceded a staggering 21 goals in these six matches, averaging 3.5 goals conceded per game. The team are currently on a four-match losing streak in the Women's Super League, which was only broken by a recent 2-2 draw against Leicester Women. A particularly concerning result was the heavy 7-1 defeat at home to West Ham Women, highlighting the team's defensive struggles. On a slightly positive note, Palace managed to score in four of these six matches, including a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa Women. However, their inability to keep clean sheets, having gone nine games without one, remains a significant issue as they battle to improve their 12th position in the league table.

Recent home/away form

Manchester City Women

Manchester City Women's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The team experienced a strong run of three consecutive victories, including an impressive 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool Women in the Women's Super League, before hitting a rough patch with back-to-back losses against Chelsea Women and Manchester United Women. City have been relatively solid defensively at home, conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches. However, their attacking output has been somewhat inconsistent, with a high-scoring 4-0 win contrasting with two games where they failed to find the net. Despite this variability, City have managed to score an average of 1.67 goals per game, contributing to a total goals average of 2.5 across these six home fixtures.

Crystal Palace Women

Crystal Palace Women have been struggling in their recent away fixtures, enduring a challenging run of form with five losses and one draw in their last six away matches. The team are currently on a four-game losing streak on the road, which is a concerning trend. Their defensive woes are particularly evident, having conceded a worrying 17 goals in these six games, averaging 2.83 goals conceded per match. The 5-0 defeat against Arsenal Women stands out as a particularly heavy loss. Crystal Palace Women have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these away games and have only managed to score twice, highlighting their difficulties at both ends of the pitch. With 67% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals, their away games tend to be high-scoring affairs, though unfortunately often not in their favour.
