Preview: Birmingham City (H).

Bristol City welcome Birmingham City to Ashton Gate on Sunday, March 29th 2026 (2pm).

City will be full of confidence, coming into this one on the back of last week’s 2-1 win over league leaders Charlton Athletic.

Goals from Sophie Ingle and Lexi Lloyd-Smith were enough for all three points, a win which earned Charlotte Healy’s side the LMA Women’s game performance of the week.

Healy will be looking for redemption against The Blues after they inflicted a 5-1 defeat on The Robins on the opening day of the season.

OUR OPPONENTS: BIRMINGHAM CITY

Birmingham City took the race for promotion to the Barclays Women’s Super League right down to the final day last season, finishing just two points behind eventual champions London City Lionesses.

Amy Merricks’ side are looking to go one better this year and are currently sat second in the Barclays Women’s Super League 2 table, with the top two earning promotion to the WSL at the end of the season.

Lily Crosthwaite and Veatriki Sarri are third and fourth top scorers in the division respectively, behind only City’s Lloyd-Smith and Rio Hardy in the standings.
