Ipswich Town Women return to WSL 2 action as they host Bristol City at the JobServe Community Stadium in Colchester this afternoon (2pm KO). Ross Halls previews the game...
STILL UNBEATEN
The Tractor Girls are still without a defeat in the second tier this season, with them currently sitting second in the table.
David Wright's side have won four straight league games, including an impressive 3-1 win over promotion rivals Sunderland last time out in the league.
They secured their first Subway Players Cup victory with a 4-1 triumph over Watford last weekend, but now switch their focus back to WSL 2 action.
THE OPPOSITION
Charlotte Healy's side are next up for Town, and are unbeaten in their last four league games to sit fourth in the table.
However, the Robins have lost their last two games in the Subway Players Cup, losing 2-1 at Wolves last weekend, having been thrashed 6-1 by WSL side Spurs in the game before.
They did however secure a 4-2 win over Wolves in the WSL 2 in their last league match.
ONES TO WATCH
Rio Hardy is the Robins' top goalscorer with four goals in the opening six league games.
Fellow forward Lotta Lindström has three goal contributions to her name, having netted twice and provided one assist. The Finnish international was signed from WSL side London City Lionesses in the summer.
Malaika Meena could make her return against the Tractor Girls, having spent the last half of last campaign on loan at Town from Bristol City.
And a key player in their midfield is Emily Syme , who is in her fourth season at Bristol City. She was named their player of 2025/26 as they missed out on promotion to the top-flight.
LAST MEETING
The two sides last faced off at the end of January, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw at the JobServe Community Stadium.
Town opened the scoring in the 14th minute through Natasha Thomas, before Harley Bennett equalised in the 66th minute as both teams settled for a point.
In the previous game last season saw the Tractor Girls suffer their biggest defeat in the second tier, losing 7-0 at Ashton Gate.
The game kicks off at 2pm, and will also be shown live on the WSL2 official YouTube channel for those who can't make the fixture.
