ECU Joondalup form and stats

When playing at home in the Npl Western Australia, ECU Joondalup have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 5 defeats from 9 games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Joondalup to get some points in this home game.

Stress levels are on the rise for Joondalup's attacking players as they have now played 284 minutes without scoring in a league game. D. Nicol was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Joondalup will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Npl Western Australia game against Floreat Athena (placed 2nd).

Preceding that match was the home game against Perth that was lost 0-4.

This is expected to be a close game, with ECU Joondalup perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Joondalup as a small favourite), we find five games. ECU Joondalup has won three of these, drawn zero and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Bayswater City are coming to town in three days.

Joondalup are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Joondalup have conceded 17 from these games.

Inglewood United form and stats

3-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Inglewood United, who have the most scored goals (44) in Npl Western Australia, in their Npl Western Australia matches away.

Inglewood has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Balcatta for a Npl Western Australia game that ended a draw (2-2).

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Cockburn City.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Inglewood United in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Inglewood United, two draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Inglewood are hosting Gwelup Croatia SC in the Npl Western Australia only three days away.

Inglewood have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 22 goals from 9 away matches. The Inglewood manager has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
