SWPL Game of the weekend: Glasgow City v Hibs
Not only is it a top of the table clash between Glasgow City and Hibs on Sunday, it also marks the Glasgow club's 500th SWPL game so it's a no brainer pick for game of the weekend.
It's the first game of the split and City and Hibs are joint on points at the top of the SWPL table, the former are narrowly ahead on goal difference.
A top of the table battle between these two isn't new but it hasn't happened in a while.
In fact, only once between 2013 and 2019 did City and Hibs not finish as the top two, while the pair met in a number of cup finals too, before the investment in Old Firm women's teams.
This season, Hibs have been flying under Grant Scott and have overcome each of the teams around them - most recently reigning champions Celtic.
They've got the best record in the league in their previous six games, having won every single one while opponents Glasgow City have won four, lost one and drawn one.
In their previous two meetings this term, City won one and Hibs have won the other. Before then, it was April 2024 when Hibs last beat City - a Scottish Cup match that went to penalties. Before that though, you'd have to go all the way back to 2017 for a Hibs victory over City.
One thing's for certain on Sunday - there's going to be goals. It's been almost three years since these sides last played out a goalless draw and April 2024 was the last time one of these games was decided by a 1-0 victory (in that game it went City's way).
Since then it's been goals galore for both sides - in fact they've scored seven between them in the two games this term and with a place (three points clear) at the top of the table at stake, you'd expect goals again this time out.
