ECU Joondalup form and stats

No Npl Western Australia points yet away for ECU Joondalup, from their first 3 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Joondalup's last three away games as they have all been lost.

ECU Joondalup might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Armadale proved too strong as ECU Joondalup slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at ECU Joondalup A. Prior to that match, the Joondalup manager faced defeat when travelling to Perth Glory II and losing 1-3.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Npl Western Australia trip to Bayswater City.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Joondalup manager has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last three meetings: two - zero - one (Floreat wins - draws - ECU Joondalup wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.
