Manchester City Women v Liverpool Women: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Liverpool head into this weekend in good form, but they are still the outsiders against a high-scoring Manchester City side.

Manchester City Women v Liverpool Women betting tips and predictions

Manchester City Women to win and both teams to score - 2/1

Liverpool have put together a good run, but that’s been boosted by a couple of victories in the cup. The Reds have endured a mixed record in the WSL, having won four and lost six of their 13 matches this term.

The visitors have suffered defeat in half of their away trips this season while they have also lost all four encounters with the league’s top four, including a 2-1 defeat at home to City in October. 

The visitors have suffered three defeats at home to the top four and they were thumped 4-0 at Manchester United. That leaves them as understandable outsiders on Sunday, especially after losing seven of their previous eight meetings with City.

The hosts have won four consecutive clashes between the pair, although they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those wins. Each of the last six encounters between the two have featured both teams scoring, while City have been far stronger going forward than at the back in the WSL this term.

The hosts have seen BTTS land in each of their last six, while they’ve won four of their last five matches despite conceding. 

Given that Liverpool have found the net in five matches on the spin, back them to score in a defeat at Joie Stadium. City can maintain their strong record against the Reds, while the visitors frustrations against the league’s top sides should strike again. 

Khadija Shaw to score two or more - 9/4

City’s Khadija Shaw is the WSL’s top scorer this season, scoring nine goals across her eight starts. Her impressive scoring ratio has made her a 4/7 favourite to score anytime on Sunday, but the forward tends to score in bursts.

Despite netting nine in eight starts, she’s scored in five WSL games this season. The forward netted twice in City’s 2-1 victory at Liverpool earlier this season, while she has found the net at least twice in her previous two home starts.

Given how Liverpool tend to crumble against the top sides - shipping 10 times in four meetings with the top four - the best value here is to back Shaw to score at least twice at 9/4.

Manchester City Women to win 3-1 - 10/1

Following on from Liverpool’s poor record against the top sides, City can expect a more comfortable victory than they managed in the reverse fixture.

The hosts have won by two clear goals on five occasions in the league this season, while they were 5-1 victors in this fixture last season.

City have averaged 2.57 goals per game at home this season and they’re backed to secure all three points, with Liverpool finding the back of the net. Look to City to secure a 3-1 win on Sunday, which can be backed at 10/1.
