Hibernian v Glasgow City - SWPL Preview

Hibernian v Glasgow City - SWPL Preview

It is set to be a battle of the Scottish Women's Premier League's top two at Meadowbank Stadium this weekend, as Glasgow City make the trip to the capital to face Hibernian.

We visit the current league leaders, sitting only three points behind them in second place. A win in our penultimate away game would take us level on 70 points, with City boasting a far superior goal difference, heading into the final week of the campaign.

Last time out

Leanne Ross and her side made it back-to-back wins in the SWPL last weekend as we defeated Celtic 3-1 at Petershill Park, just four days after beating Rangers at Ibrox.

Against Celtic, a first-half brace from Nicole Kozlova combined with a composed strike by Brenna Lovera saw City storm into a 3-0 lead at the break.

Elena Sadiku's charges got a goal back through Lucy Ashworth-Clifford's close-range finish early on in the second half, but it proved to be a consolation in the end as we showed great character to see out the game.

Previous meeting

We last faced Hibs in our first game of the league split back in March. Following a scrappy 90 minutes, it looked like it was going to finish 0-0 at Petershill Park, but an injury-time winner from Kirsty Morrison saw the visitors claim all three points.
