Both Newcastle United W and Wolverhampton W will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Women's Championship. It has been a dominant campaign for the hosts, W over their last five and a win rate of 100% that few in the Women's Championship can match. The visitors have been picking up results steadily, WL over their last five with a campaign win rate of 50%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Newcastle United W average 1.5 per game to Wolverhampton W's 1.5, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Their 3-0 win over Nice takes them up to second spot in the fledgling Ligue 1 table.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Newcastle United W favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Wolverhampton W are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Schalke had only 17 per cent of the possession but, having visited the club to interview their charismatic coach Miron Muslic, that is hardly a surprise.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Arsenal have signed midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle in a £75m transfer.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. Whatever the outcome, the Women's Championship fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
