Qrendi form and stats

Qrendi's struggle is real here at Luxol Sports Ground with only 5 points collected from 7 First Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-4. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Qrendi, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Qrendi enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Mtarfa's place. The match ended 3-2. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after failing to win six fixtures in a row.

Ahead of that match, Qrendi lost 2-3 at home to Marsaskala.

Qrendi are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Qrendi are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 7 played). When Qrendi hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like San Gwann, Vittoriosa Stars, Mqabba, Mtarfa and Marsaskala), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
