Match preview

Brighton Women host Charlton Athletic Women in round five of the Women's Super League, with both sides aiming to gain momentum after challenging starts to the domestic season. The hosts currently occupy 11th position in the standings with two points from four matches, having recorded two draws and two defeats.

Charlton Athletic Women enter the match in 14th place at the foot of the table, having lost all four of their league outings so far. The visiting side has struggled for offensive traction, scoring just one goal while conceding ten across those four fixtures.

Confidence

Charlton Athletic Women have lost all four of their league matches this season, managing just one goal while conceding ten. Brighton Women have already taken two points from league draws against Aston Villa Women and Birmingham City Women, and they registered a 4-0 win over Charlton in cup action on 23 September. Backing Brighton to avoid defeat covers both a home win and a draw against a visiting side that has yet to earn a point in the league.

Confidence

Charlton Athletic W have conceded ten goals in their four league matches, an average of 2.5 per game, and have failed to keep a clean sheet all season. Brighton W have also conceded in all four of their league outings, averaging 1.5 goals against per match. While both teams have had low-scoring attacking outputs in recent league games, Charlton's defensive vulnerability and the recent 4-0 meeting between these sides indicate that a minimum of two goals is well supported, whereas reaching three goals remains less reliable given Charlton has scored only once in four league fixtures.
