Croydon Kings form and stats

With 0 Npl South Australian wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Croydon Kings are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Npl South Australian games in a row without a win, the Croydon fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sturt Lions game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Croydon will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Npl South Australian game against Adelaide Comets (placed 3rd).

Before that, Croydon drew at home versus Adelaide United ||.

The Croydon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.

Cumberland United might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. South Adelaide Panthers proved too strong as Cumberland slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Bailey Reserve. Cumberland lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A 0-3 loss hosting NE MetroStars before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cumberland United manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Adelaide Comets.
