Western Pride not looking forward to difficult Npl Queensland clash against Olympic

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Western Pride and Olympic.

Western Pride form and stats

With 1 win, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Western Pride, who have the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Npl Queensland, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Briggs Road Sporting Complex) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Western Pride it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Western Pride's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-4 versus Olympic. Before that match, a win away at Magpies Crusaders.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of points are very slim. When Western Pride have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 3 from three games. 3 defeats by at least two goals.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Western Pride here at Briggs Road Sporting Complex, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Western Pride have let the opposition score 23 times, an average of more than three per game.

Olympic form and stats

The strength of Olympic, who have the most scored goals (58) in Npl Queensland, on their travels this season is incredible with 18 points collected from 7 away games. Olympic has 6-0-1 on the road, with 27 goals scored and 7 conceded. The fact that Olympic have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Olympic's record of five away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Queensland Lions game.

Olympic play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Western Pride. Preceding that game was the away victory against Redlands United with the score of 6-0.
