On Sunday, Aston Villa Women will welcome Brighton & Hove Albion Women to the Bescot Stadium for the final round of Women's Super League fixtures in 2023.

The hosts head into the weekend in 10th position in the WSL table, while the Seagulls are two points better off in ninth place.


Match preview

After finishing in fifth place last term, Aston Villa have been unable to match that high standard in the 2023-24 campaign, having won just two of their nine league matches (L7).

The Villans began the WSL season with five consecutive losses, before they appeared to have turned a corner with successive away wins over Bristol City and West Ham United.

Unfortunately for the Villans, they have been unable to add to their tally since those two victories, with their last two matches ending in 2-1 defeats to Everton and Manchester City.

Having experienced an underwhelming league campaign, Carla Ward's side restored some much-needed belief with a comfortable 5-1 win over Championship outfit Durham in Wednesday's League Cup clash, where Adriana Leon and Rachel Corsie got on the score sheet before Rachel Daly came off the bench to net a hat-trick.

While that result may have taken place at the Bescot Stadium, the Villans are still searching for their first home points of the WSL season after losing their opening four matches in front of their supporters.

Like their hosts, Brighton have also found wins hard to come by this season, having won two, drawn two and lost five of their nine league matches.

Since claiming their most recent WSL victory against Man City on November 12, Brighton have gone on to pick up just one point from their next three top-flight fixtures.

They fell to heavy defeats to both Arsenal and Liverpool, before they fought back from two goals down to salvage a draw from last Sunday's home clash with Leicester City.

Melissa Phillips's side looked to be heading towards defeat when goals from Lena Petermann and Jutta Rantala gave the Foxes a two-goal cushion, but Brighton managed to stage a late fightback through Elisabeth Terland, who scored two goals in six minutes to snatch a point for the South Coast club.
