Season ticket holders at Warrior Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Olympia Warriors languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting Launceston City will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Olympia Warriors have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Launceston City have the fewest scored goals in the second half (8) in Npl Tasmania

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Launceston City have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-0-3 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

Before that match, a win away at South Hobart.

The Warriors fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 8 league matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Warriors having conceded 21 goals here at Warrior Park so far.
