On Sunday, Glasgow City travel East to take on second placed Hibernian in a match which will have a huge bearing on the destination of this year’s SWPL title.
City currently sit three points clear at the top of the SWPL with 3 games remaining and with a goal difference of plus 32 over their Edinburgh rivals. Both teams are now assured of finishing in the top two and picking up Scotland’s two Champions League spots which were announced just last week, largely due to City’s impressive form in the competition over the past five years.
The previous two matches in the SWPL between these two sides has been nothing short of scintillating and the best matches the SWPL has arguably seen since its formation. Each time, the lead has swung like a pendulum, with ultimately City ahead until the final minutes of the game, before Hibernian clawed back an equaliser to share the points. 
Commenting on the match, City Head Coach Scott Booth said, “Hibs have had a great season so far. I’m really pleased they have Champions League football to look forward to next season. I feel our club has played a huge part in that. So we are all proud. Let’s hope this game is as open and entertaining as our last encounters. “
