Lake Macquarie form and stats

Lake Macquarie have collected 1 point from their Northern Nsw home games so far after 0-1-4. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Lake Macquarie, their manager and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Lake Macquarie suffered a surprising loss 2-3 against Hamilton Olympic in their previous outing, also a home game.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Valentine (0-1).

Lots of goals? We don't know what will happen in this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 most recent league games with this side has seen at least three goals.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lambton Jaffas in only three days.

Macquarie has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Lake Macquarie having conceded 13 goals here at Macquarie Field so far.
