Sunday’s FA WSL clash between West Ham Women and Liverpool Women at the Chigwell Construction Stadium promises to be an intriguing encounter. The Hammers will look to bounce back from a string of underwhelming results, but the visitors’ recent dominance in their head-to-head meetings will undoubtedly give them an air of confidence.

The Reds have had the better of their opponents in recent meetings, with a convincing 5-0 win in the FA Women’s Cup and a narrow 10- win in their last league meeting. However, this West Ham side will not be pushovers and have shown a degree of resilience in their past encounters, drawing twice against Liverpool.

Tactically, the hosts will likely sit deep and look to catch their opponents on the counter while Liverpool may try to apply early pressure. If recent form is any indication, then Liverpool should be able to get the better of their opponents and grab all three points. However with a lowly45% win probability for the visitors there is no guarantee and this match could still go either way.

The projected score bands suggest a low-scoring affair with under 25 goals for the hosts and just over a goal and a half for Liverpool but recent head-to-head meetings have seen a spread of results. With the bookmaker odds suggesting a closely contested match this could be anyone’s game but ultimately the visitors look to have that slight edge.
