Western Spirit form and stats

There's been little loot from Western Spirit's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Brisbane Premier League. Western Spirit only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. A depressing four defeats in a row for Western Spirit in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus The Gap.

Western are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the Brisbane Premier League against Mt Gravatt Hawks (placed 5th). A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Western Spirit, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

A draw for Western before that, at their own venue hosting Brisbane Knights (4-4).

The visiting Western Spirit have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. Western can't defend away. 30 goals have been scored by the opposition in 6 matches, an average of more than three per game.
