NWS Spirit form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for NWS Spirit so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-6 (win-draw-lose).

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Sydney Olympic.

As for defending, NWS Spirit rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 21 goals from these away matches.
