NEWRY, Northern Ireland (Interstat) — A surging Linfield W side will look to continue its dominant form when it visits a defensively stout Newry City AFC Res. in a Women’s Premiership League Cup group stage match on Tuesday.

Linfield W (2-0-0) enters the contest off a decisive 6-3 road victory over Harland & Wolff Welders FC on Nov. 5, showcasing a potent attack. The club has outscored its opponents 8-0 in its other fixtures this season, including a 2-0 win over Queen’s University AFC on Sept. 30.

Newry City AFC Res. (3-0-0) has built its perfect record on a foundation of strong defense, conceding just one goal across its three matches. The home side is coming off a 1-0 victory over Glenavon FC on Nov. 4, following earlier 1-0 and 3-0 wins against Portadown W and Knockbreda LFC, respectively.

The matchup pits Linfield’s high-powered offense against Newry’s resilient back line. According to Interstat’s game simulator, Linfield’s firepower is projected to prevail in a 3-1 final.

Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. local time at The Showgrounds.
