Where to watch: Durham Women v Bristol City Women – Live coverage starts at 14:00 UK time on the Women’s Championship YouTube.
Match Overview
Durham Women head into today’s fixture as one of the form sides in the Women’s Championship, sitting comfortably in the top half of the table under the guidance of manager Lee Sanders. Their potent attack, spearheaded by forward Emily Roberts, has already found the net 23 times this season, while captain Katie Wilkinson marshals a defence that has conceded just 14 goals in 16 league outings.
Bristol City Women arrive at Maiden Castle in search of points to distance themselves from the lower reaches of the table. Manager Lauren Smith’s side have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly on the counter through the pace of Chloe Kelly, but inconsistency has plagued their campaign. With both teams aware that a win here could swing momentum, expect a keenly contested battle across midfield and on the flanks.

Prediction
Given Durham Women’s strong home form and organized defensive shape, our forecast is a 2-1 victory for the hosts. Emily Roberts is poised to unlock the Bristol City Women backline with a trademark long-range strike, while Bristol’s counter-attacking threat through Chloe Kelly means they will likely grab a consolation goal late in the game.
Durham’s ability to control possession and limit opposition opportunities has been key to their recent success, making them narrow favorites. However, Bristol City Women’s direct style and pace on the break suggest this fixture will stay alive until the final whistle, ensuring an entertaining contest for all viewers.
