SC Wanderers are welcoming Gold Coast United for another important game after their 0-2 result against 3rd-placed Gold Coast Knights.
Gold Coast United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Npl Queensland game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Redlands United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
SC Wanderers form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Npl Queensland this season. SC Wanderers have only managed 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here. It's trouble wherever SC Wanderers are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Wanderers manager P. Arnison might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Stress levels are on the rise for Wanderers's attacking players as they have now played 322 minutes without scoring in a league game. H. Arnison was their last goal scorer.
Wanderers are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Gold Coast Knights. Heartbreak before that as Wanderers lost 0-4 at Olympic's place.
The SC Wanderers fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 11 league matches. Wanderers have conceded 27 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Gold Coast United form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Npl Queensland travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. Coast has drawn their two previous away games.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Redlands United (placed 10th) in their previous outing. The Npl Queensland match ended in a draw 0-0. A 1-2 loss hosting Brisbane Strikers before that.
The travelling fans enjoy Gold Coast United's attacking play in away games, having scored 20 goals in 11 league matches away. The Gold Coast United manager C. Midgley has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
