Aston Villa Women vs Brighton Women

Current streaks

Recent form

Aston Villa Women

Aston Villa Women have shown a remarkable turnaround in form, with their current four-match winning streak propelling them from the lower reaches of the table to 9th position. This impressive run includes high-scoring victories against Arsenal Women (5-2) and West Ham Women (3-2), highlighting their improved attacking prowess. Despite their recent success, Villa's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 matches. The team's propensity for goal-laden encounters is striking, with all of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures. Villa's resurgence is particularly noteworthy given their preceding two-match losing streak, where they conceded seven goals, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Manchester United Women. This rollercoaster of results underscores the team's inconsistency but also demonstrates their potential when firing on all cylinders.

Brighton Women

Brighton Women's recent form presents an intriguing mix of results, with their last six matches yielding three wins and three losses. The team have shown resilience by bouncing back from a three-game losing streak to secure two consecutive victories, including an impressive 4-2 win against Arsenal Women in their most recent match. This high-scoring encounter, along with their 3-2 loss to Leicester Women, highlights Brighton's involvement in several goal-laden games. The statistics reveal a potent attack, averaging 2 goals per game, but also a somewhat leaky defence, conceding 1.83 goals per match. Their tendency for goal-filled matches is further emphasised by the fact that 83% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in the same percentage of matches. Despite sitting 5th in the league, Brighton's inconsistent form and their five-game run without a clean sheet suggest there's room for defensive improvement.

Recent home/away form

Aston Villa Women

Aston Villa Women's recent home form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins and four losses. The Villans have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these games and conceding an average of 2.5 goals per match. However, their most recent home fixture saw a dramatic turnaround in fortunes, with a high-scoring 5-2 victory over Arsenal Women in the Women's Super League. This result broke a run of three consecutive home defeats, during which Villa failed to score in two matches. The team's goal-scoring has been erratic, with 10 goals in six games, but five of those came in the Arsenal match alone. Despite their 9th position in the league, Villa's home games have been entertaining, with 67% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in half of the fixtures.

Brighton Women

Brighton Women's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with a notable improvement in their most recent outings. Despite their mid-table league position, they've struggled defensively on the road, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game in their last six away matches. However, their attacking prowess has been evident, with Brighton scoring in five of these six games. The Seagulls have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with five of the six matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Notably, Brighton experienced a run of three consecutive away defeats before breaking that streak with a win against Tottenham. Their most recent away victory, a 3-2 thriller against Everton, showcases their ability to compete in tight contests. While clean sheets have been rare, occurring only once in this period, Brighton's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, averaging a total of 3.83 goals per game.
