Hello derby day. The Women’s Super League kicks off its 2025–26 campaign with Liverpool FC Women vs Everton FC Women at Anfield on Sunday, September 7, 2025. No standings yet, no safety nets, just the first 90 minutes that set the tone for the season. Call it nerves, call it rust, but expect both sides to show their cards early, and not always cleanly.
Form and Head-to-Head Analysis
Liverpool stumbled to 7th last season with 25 points and a -15 goal difference, struggling especially at Anfield, where they ranked second-worst (3W–3D–5L). Their end-of-season and preseason form scream inconsistency. Namely, five straight without a win (LLLDL), including a flat 0–3 home defeat to West Ham just two weeks ago. Goals remain an issue: 22 scored in 22 league matches last year isn’t going to scare anyone.
Everton weren’t exactly flying either, finishing one spot behind Liverpool with 24 points and a -8 goal difference. Still, the Toffees look sharper heading in. For example, they smashed Midtjylland 3–0 away and narrowly lost to Juventus in a competitive friendly. Away form isn’t perfect (2W–3D–6L in 2024–25), but recent road trips show backbone: unbeaten in their last three away games (2W–1D in the league, plus that European friendly win).
Head-to-head history tilts blue. Everton lead 15–10 overall, including nine away wins at Anfield. Last season, they beat Liverpool 2–0 in this exact fixture, just four months ago. What’s more, in the last five meetings, Everton have 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, with three clean sheets in the mix.
Match Expectations for Liverpool FC Women vs Everton FC Women
Liverpool at home isn’t worth the price. They’ve scored just twice in their last four home games, and Everton have already proven they can nick points away. Add the psychological edge from a recent derby win, and the +0.5 line on Everton looks the smart play; you cash even if it’s a draw.
Goals? Don’t expect fireworks. Six of the last eight league meetings between these two finished under 2.5 goals. Liverpool can’t buy a goal, Everton don’t often chase big margins, and both sides are still shaking off preseason dust. So, if you want value and less stress, Everton +0.5 is the pragmatic call. Lastly, to put these plays in motion, you’ll want to open a Game2Bet account and get your first bet in before the line moves.
