It's early days in the Provincial-Brabant and both Kosova Schaerbeek and Sportive Brainoise are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Kosova Schaerbeek form and stats
The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Dungannon Swifts form and stats
Dungannon Swifts's struggle is real here at Stangmore Park with only 6 points collected from 6 Premiership games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-4. Game days at Stangmore Park have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Dungannon as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Prior to that, an away loss at Coleraine.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Dungannon Swifts handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are six wins, one draw and one defeat.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Dungannon as they have a new game in only three days, a Premiership match thankfully also at home. Crusaders are visiting.
The Dungannon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Dungannon Swifts with 13 goals conceded in these matches.
Carrick Rangers form and stats
There's been little loot from Carrick Rangers's travels as they have only collected 0 points from 6 away games in the Premiership. Carrick Rangers, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Premiership, only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. The manager N. Currie is not happy with the away performances in the Premiership so far, as all 6 matches have been lost. With the Carrick losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. A depressing six defeats in a row for Carrick in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Linfield.
Carrick Rangers are looking to quickly end their 366 minutes long goal drought in the Premiership.
Carrick failed to get anything from their last game, a Premiership home match vs Ballymena United (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-2. A 0-2 defeat away at Glentoran before that.
Carrick Rangers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of five matches.
After this away game Carrick return home for a Premiership game against Linfield. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Goals are few and far between in Carrick Rangers's away league games. Only 1 goal from 6 travels. The Carrick Rangers defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 21 goals in their away games.
