WSL Predictions: Brighton and Spurs Backed As Three Games Promise Goals
The Women’s Super League returns to action this Sunday with a bumper three-match card, and William Hill News are on hand with the best bets and predictions across the card.
The odds suggest an intriguing afternoon awaits with Brighton hosting Villa at the Amex Stadium, Tottenham travelling to South London to face Crystal palace, meanwhile a mouthwatering clash between West Ham and Everton takes place at Victoria Road.
Brighton Women vs Aston Villa Women – 2:00pm, Amex Stadium
- Brighton Women – 17/20
- Draw – 12/5
- Aston Villa Women – 27/10
Brighton head into this one as odds-on favourites, and rightly so given their home advantage. Aston Villa have shown flashes of quality on their travels this season, but a top-flight away trip to a Brighton side fighting for their own points looks a tough ask. The 27/10 price on the visitors reflects the uphill battle, while the 12/5 draw is worth a second look for anyone expecting a cagier affair than the head-to-head record suggests.
Our prediction: Brighton Women 2-1 Aston Villa – 7/1
Crystal Palace Women vs Tottenham Women – 2:00pm, Selhurst Park
- Crystal Palace Women – 4/1
- Draw – 11/4
- Tottenham Women – 4/7
This is the standout clash of the round on paper, with Tottenham installed as clear 4/7 favourites against a Crystal Palace side priced at a generous 4/1. Spurs have carried strong away form into this fixture and will fancy their chances of taking all three points from Selhurst Park. That said, London derbies rarely follow the script, and the 11/4 draw price hints that punters aren’t entirely writing off a Palace point on home soil. Value hunters may find the draw the most interesting angle here, particularly if Palace can frustrate their more fancied neighbours in the opening exchanges.
Our prediction: Crystal Palace Women 1-2 Tottenham Women – 13/2
West Ham Women vs Everton Women – 2:00pm, Victoria Road
- West Ham Women – 23/20
- Draw – 23/10
- Everton Women – 19/10
The tightest match of the day by the numbers, with West Ham edged as favourites at 23/20 but Everton not far behind at 19/10. The draw at 23/10 completes a genuinely open-looking market, and this has the makings of the closest contest on the card. West Ham’s home support will be hoping for a fast start, but Everton have proven durable away from home this campaign and won’t be an easy visitor to break down. This is arguably the pick of the round for those seeking value, with all three outcomes realistically in play right up until kick-off.
Our prediction: West Ham Women 1-1 Everton Women – 5/1
