Sunderland are starting to pull away from the rest of the WSL 2. Sunderland and the Belles are both unbeaten but the Belles have drawn 3 and Sunderland only once. Hence the 4 points gap between those 2 teams.
The table looks like this :
1. Sunderland 22 pts
2. Doncaster 18 pts
3. Watford 14 pts
4. Reading *13 pts
*Reading with a game in hand
Let’s have a look at the last 3 results of the top 4 teams (matchday 6,7,8)
Sunderland 7 pts
H Yeovil 2-0
A Belles 1-1
H Oxford 2-0
Belles 3 pts
A Millwall 0-0
H Sunderland 1-1
A Durham 0-0
Watford 9 pts
A Bees 5-4
A Oxford 2-1
A Yeovil 3-0
Reading 6 pts from 2 games
H Villa 3-1
H Bees 5-1
Watford got maximum points from the 3 games, Reading got maximum points from the 2 games they played, Sunderland dropped their first points at Belles in the top of the table clash and Belles dropped 6 points with 3 consecutive draws.
The next 3 games program :
M9
Doncaster v Bees
Sunderland v Millwall
Watford v Reading
M10
Reading v Sunderland
Villa v Watford
Oxford v Doncaster
M11
Reading v Doncaster
Sunderland v Villa
Watford v Durham
We will know where Reading stand in term of promotion chances as they will play all the teams from the top 4 and really need to win all 3 games to catch up a few points on Sunderland.
Watford also need to win all 3 games to bridge the current 8 points gap on Sunderland.
Doncaster will hope to see Sunderland slip up and capitalise on this as a Sunderland defeat combined to a Belles win would close the gap to 1 point only.
Sunderland will look to keep their unbeaten record and push Reading away from the title race on Matchday 10.
