Valentine form and stats

3-1-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Northern Nsw numbers at home for Valentine so far this season. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Valentine, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Valentine experienced an unpredictable defeat 1-2 against Maitland in their previous game, also played at home.

Before that game, the home loss against Charlestown City Blues with the scoreline 0-1.

Lots of goals and action? Who knows about this one, but we do know that 11 of the 14 most recent league games with this team has seen three goals or more.

The Valentine fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. Valentine have conceded 15 from these games.

New Lambton form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for New Lambton so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for New Lambton who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Lake Macquarie was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Lambton are looking to quickly end their 236 minutes long goal drought in the Northern Nsw.

New Lambton's previous game was their home loss versus Adamstown Rosebuds (0-3).

A 0-5 loss hosting Lambton Jaffas before that.

Will there be lots of goals? This club have played 11 consecutive league games all having at least three goals (over 2.5 goals).

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far New Lambton have scored 8 goals in 6 league games away.
