Western Spirit form and stats

Western Spirit have played three Brisbane Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Western Spirit to get some points in this home game.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 221 minutes without scoring a league goal.

In their previous game, led his Western to a defeat in the Brisbane Premier League match away at Bayside United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kippen Park. Western were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Acacia Ridge that was lost 0-2.

St George Willawong form and stats

St George Willawong have six points from their first three away games in the Brisbane Premier League, meaning two victories and a loss. The fact that Willawong have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Willawong had fun at their own home (Kippen Park) last time out, beating Univ. Queensland 5-1. As mentioned above, Willawong was the only team on the pitch versus Univ. Queensland in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Toowong at their stadium, the result 5-1.

The Willawong manager has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 11 goals in 3 league matches away. As opposed to that, Willawong have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
