In an evenly contested match between the two top-tier teams in SWPL 1 - Women's league, Spartans FC (Wom) hosted Motherwell LFC (Wom) on April 16, 2023, leading to a 2-2 draw. The statistics from the game reveal some interesting insights into both the teams' performances, their tactical approach, and how those specifics practically impacted the game's outcome.

Focusing on the goals data, the away team, Motherwell, showed an impressive resilience by coming back twice to draw the match. Their equalizers came at the 48th and 87th minute mark in the second half, the periods following the two goals scored by Spartans at the 53rd and 81st minute. Motherwell's ability to strike back in rapid response to conceding demonstrated a team character trait bettors might want to consider in future games.

Shifting our attention to set-piece data, surprisingly, despite Motherwell having more corner kicks (4) than Spartans (3), they could not capitalize on these opportunities. In terms of disciplinary actions, it was a relatively clean game, with only one yellow card awarded to Motherwell in the closing moments of the game. This might suggest a disciplined approach from both sides, potentially limiting the number of fouls and consequently, the number of free-kick opportunities.

The absence of red cards for either team is worth noting as it indicates that both teams maintained a full 11-player squad throughout the 90 minutes, allowing no potential advantage for either team in terms of manpower on the pitch.

From a comparative standpoint, the teams were quite evenly matched in this game. The number of goals, the minimal disciplinary issues, and similar corner kicks paint a picture of two teams on a similar skill level. The only prevalent difference is how Motherwell managed to muster a response each time they went a goal down, showcasing their tenacity and spirit.

For those considering bets on future matches involving these teams, it's advisable to consider this resilient characteristic displayed by Motherwell, and the relative parity demonstrated by the teams in terms of overall performance and discipline. Also, considering Spartans FC and Motherwell managed to keep their defenses tight, despite having fewer corner kicks, underlines their effective set-piece defensive strategies.

The 2-2 full-time score, the hard-fought nature of the game, and the evenly distributed statistics all suggest that predicting the outcomes and dynamics of the games involving these teams may require careful consideration of their consistency, resilience, discipline, and set-piece effectiveness.
