WSL2 Midweek Fixtures Set to Impact Form

The fourth round of Barclays Women’s Super League 2 fixtures is set to take place this weekend, with teams now settled into the league.

The gameweek begins on Saturday with Bristol City travelling to Turf Moor to face Burnley at 12pm. The two sides have not faced each other in recent years, and Bristol City will be feeling confident after securing their first points of the season with a 5-1 victory over Watford.

Bristol City had 12 shots on target and netted five goals, including a hat trick from Rio Hardy, who is certainly one to watch for this fixture. Charlotte Healy’s side would have been pleased with their performance after finishing last season as the BWSL2 top goalscorers but failing to land any points in the first two gameweeks of this season.

Newly promoted Burnley are still yet to get a win, with a 0-0 draw against Watford, a 2-1 defeat to Sunderland and a 3-0 defeat against Wolves. They have struggled with shots, producing only one goal so far.

On Sunday, five other games take place at 2pm, after the Players Cup returns for the midweek ties. One of these fixtures sees two promotion hopefuls face each other for the first time as Leicester City travel to Newcastle United.

Newcastle are top of the table and will be looking to maintain their position with a win against Leicester. The Magpies have been in good form so far this season, while Leicester will be hoping to bounce back from their defeat last weekend.
