It's early days in the Npl South Australian and both Croydon Kings and Adelaide Blue Eagles are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Croydon Kings form and stats
Only two Npl South Australian home games for Croydon Kings so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
The Croydon supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Adelaide Raiders in Npl South Australian and win 2-1. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Campbelltown City the opponent.
At Jack Smith Park, Croydon Kings has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Adelaide Blue Eagles form and stats
No Npl South Australian points yet away for Adelaide Blue Eagles, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Adelaide Blue Eagles are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The attacking players of Adelaide have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 265 minutes.
Adelaide lost away at NE MetroStars (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A loss against Adelaide Raiders was the result prior to that, in a home game.
2 goals so far away for Adelaide Blue Eagles, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Croydon, zero draws and one win for Adelaide Blue Eagles. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Croydon Kings missing players
