Aston Villa Women earned a point from their WSL Cup group stage match against Birmingham City Women on Wednesday. The 1-1 draw at Bodymoor Heath Training Ground keeps Villa unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, a run that in the league reads as three wins and two draws from their last five outings.
Aston Villa Women are now unbeaten in five, a run that includes three wins and two draws. This sequence started with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace in the league and includes a dramatic 3-2 victory over Everton last week. In that match, Amalie Vangsgaard scored twice, taking her season tally to three goals, making her the team's top scorer. Her goals in the 32nd and 50th minutes against Everton were key in the 3-2 win on Sunday 25 October.
Their league form sees them sitting eighth in the FA WSL table with nine points from seven games, having recorded two wins, three draws, and two losses. They are ten points behind leaders Chelsea but have shown resilience, scoring nine goals so far this season while conceding fourteen. This recent unbeaten league streak began with a 3-1 win over Newcastle United on Wednesday 30 September, followed by the draw with Crystal Palace, a 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday 18 October, a 2-0 win at Burnley on Wednesday 21 October, and the 3-2 triumph at Everton.
Attention now turns to a significant league challenge away at Arsenal Women this Sunday. Arsenal currently occupy sixth place, three points ahead of Villa, setting up a key match at the Emirates Stadium. The fixture on Sunday 1 November presents a tough test against a side positioned sixth.
The team will look to carry the momentum from their solid recent form, which features wins over Liverpool and Burnley, into this tough away fixture.
