Struggling Clarence United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Devonport City in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Clarence United form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Clarence United, who have the most conceded goals (93) in Npl Tasmania, have only managed 1 win, 0 draws and 6 losses so far from their games here at Wentworth Park 2. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Clarence United with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Riverside Olympic game, 61 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at Wentworth Park 2 is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.The Clarence United crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-6 to South Hobart here at Wentworth Park 2 in a Npl Tasmania match. Preceding that match was a defeat to Olympia Warriors (0-6).
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 Clarence United have been in this position before, they have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 4 from six games. 4 defeats by at least two goals.
The lack of attacking qualities in Clarence United means that they have only scored 3 goals in 7 home games, less than half a goal per match. Clarence United's defense is seriously deficient as 39 goals have been conceded in these matches.
