Moving closer to the top clubs is the mission when these two mid-table clubs do battle. Both are trying to improve their league table position, PWD in 5th and New Star in 8th position.
- PWD have scored at least twice as many goals at home as New Star have scored away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
PWD form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what PWD have to build on here at Limbe Centenary Stadium in the Elite One. Hopes of three in a row are alive for PWD after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 191 minutes.
A nice win for PWD last time playing, versus OFTA. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0.
Ahead of that match, PWD won a home game hosting Avion Academy (2-0).The match schedule is unforgiving for PWD as they have a new game in only two days, a Elite One match thankfully also at home. Yafoot are visiting.
PWD has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 5 goals from 5 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
New Star form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Elite One travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Star, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Avion Academy (placed 4th).
Preceding that game was the away victory against Fovu Club with the score of 2-0.New Star have another game away in just two nights, a Elite One game against Cotonsport. A gruelling fixture list for the guests!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting New Star as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Star as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
The two teams in this fixture also played each other earlier this season: New Star - PWD 1-2. Head-to-head numbers (for the prior four meetings): PWD won three games, zero matches ended with a draw and New Star have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / onePWD missing players
