Team form

Liverpool W

Liverpool Women have had mixed results lately, with their last three matches yielding a win, a draw, and a loss. They fell to Manchester City Women by a margin of 2-4 after a hard-fought contest. Prior to that, they managed a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur Women at home, a match that showed flashes of creativity but left them wanting more. Their only victory in this run was a commanding 4-0 win against Charlton Athletic Women, indicating their potential to score goals when in form. On average, Liverpool scores 2.3 goals per game, while conceding 1.7, revealing a tendency towards high-scoring matches.

Sunderland W

Sunderland Women, on the other hand, come into this match with a more solid recent form. They drew 0-0 against Southampton Women in their last match, showcasing their defensive strength. The match prior saw them grab a 2-1 win against Burnley Women, and they dominated Bristol City Women with a 4-1 victory, reflecting a robust scoring ability. Sunderland averages 2.0 goals scored per match while conceding just 0.7, highlighting their strong defensive record. Their recent trend suggests they will be tough to break down.

Head-to-head

When it comes to head-to-head encounters, Liverpool has had the upper hand in the last five matches against Sunderland. Notably, they thrashed Sunderland 5-0 in their most recent meeting on September 24, 2025, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Previous encounters saw Liverpool winning comfortably with scores of 3-0 and 4-0 in their favor, indicating a historical disadvantage for Sunderland whenever they face Liverpool.

Key factors

Key factors in this match will be Liverpool's home advantage and their previous high-scoring matches, combined with Sunderland's impressive defensive statistics. Both teams will need to adapt to each other's attacking styles, but with Liverpool's tendency to score goals and Sunderland's strong defending, a narrative of attack-versus-defense is set to take shape. The match could feature several attacks from both sides as they seek to gain an edge in the cup tournament.

Prediction

Liverpool's mixed form juxtaposed with their exceptional scoring ability suggests they will put forth an aggressive effort on home soil. Meanwhile, Sunderland's formidable defense will be put to the test against Liverpool's front line. Given the historical performance between the teams, Sunderland could capitalize on defensive lapses by Liverpool.

Overall, Sunderland Women appear to be slight favorites in this matchup based on current form and statistics. A key motive for the away side will be to leverage their improved finish against a Liverpool side that has shown vulnerabilities. Expect a competitive tight game with the probability of Sunderland securing a win against their struggling counterparts.
