Bristol Womenvs.Spurs Ladies

sportsmole.co.uk, 22 March 2024, 22:27
Bristol City Women will attempt to end their 11-game winless league run when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur Ladies to Ashton Gate on Sunday.

The Robins are propping up the Women's Super League table, while Tottenham are currently sitting in sixth position.

Match preview

Bristol City are at risk of being relegated straight back to the Championship after mustering six points from their 16 league matches this term.

Having won just one league game all season, the Robins are six points adrift from safety with six matches left to play.

In last Sunday's clash with Manchester United, Lisa Naalsund scored a brace to condemn Lauren Smith's side to a 2-0 defeat at Leigh Sports Village.

After experiencing disappointment on the road, Bristol City will now return to Ashton Gate, where they have lost seven consecutive home league matches.

Having conceded 22 goals across those seven home matches, the Robins will need to improve defensively if they are to trouble Tottenham on Sunday.

In contrast to their hosts, Tottenham will head into the weekend in a positive mood after experiencing success in their last two matches.

Spurs booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a penalty shootout victory over Manchester City, before they claimed a narrow win in last Sunday's league clash with Leicester City.

Matilda Vinberg's second-minute strike proved enough to clinch maximum points and end Tottenham's four-game winless league run.

Having picked up 22 points from 16 league games, Spurs are currently sitting in sixth position and well set to better last season's ninth-place finish.

They will now turn their attention to Sunday's trip to Bristol, where they will attempt to beat the Robins for the third time this season after claiming 3-1 and 3-0 victories in the WSL and League Cup respectively.
