LET’S GO! Tottenham Hotspur Women open their WSL season today with a home match against Crystal Palace. Palace promoted from the Championship this past season, and despite reinforcing their team with 14 new players, they lost their leading scorer to an ACL injury and are still favorites to be relegated this season. But this is not a match that Spurs Women should look past — it’s the first of the season, and both teams are something of an enigma, especially since we have not had an opportunity to watch them in preseason.
Robert Vilahamn has strengthened his Spurs squad with two offensive players from Real Madrid — midfielder Maite Oroz and winger Haley Raso — plus Anna Csiki from his old club BF Hacken, and a couple of defenders in Clare Hunt and Ella Morris. We’ll have to see how many of the newcomers make it on the pitch today, and Spurs will be hoping to make a big offensive splash in this one. Spurs have a tough run of fixtures to start the season, so a win today is important because points may be hard to come by in the next few games.
The game is streamed on YouTube, and NOT the FA Player. This is your match thread. Let’s go!
