Hearts v Glasgow City - SWPL Preview

Hearts v Glasgow City - SWPL Preview

This three-game week in the Scottish Women's Premier League concludes on Sunday when we make the trip to the capital to face Hearts at Oriam. 

Last time out

Leanne Ross and her side will be looking to get back to winning ways when we make the visit to Hearts following our midweek defeat to Rangers at Petershill Park. 

We took an early lead through Brenna Lovera in the eighth minute, with the American forward scoring her fourth goal in three games. But, her effort was cancelled out by Kirsty Howat's equaliser just after the half-hour mark.

The visitors would claim all three points thanks to a 2-1 win after Rio Hardy netted the winner from close range in the 62nd minute.

Previous meeting

Our last meeting with the Jambos was in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup in March. It was a hard-fought contest which saw City prevail with a 3-2 win after extra-time. 

Nicole Kozlova opened the scoring before Hearts took a 2-1 lead following a brace from Bayley Hutchison. We took the game to extra time after Lisa Forrest scored the equaliser in the 89th minute, before Kimberley Smit netted the winner eight minutes into extra time.

The last SWPL encounter took place back in December of last year when a 0-0 draw played out at Oriam.
