Logan Lightning form and stats

With 2 Npl Queensland wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Logan Lightning are certainly not brimming with confidence.

It's back home for Logan Lightning, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Gold Coast United away with the result 1-0. Fulluck found the net in that victory. Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league win after failing to win six matches in a row.

Before that, Lightning drew at home versus Brisbane Roar II.

Goal party? Who knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 most recent league matches with this club has seen three or more goals.

Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Logan Lightning with 16 goals conceded in these matches. When Lightning hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Brisbane Roar II, Brisbane City and Capalaba), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
