Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Hamilton Wanderers in 4th and Canterbury United in 5th place.

Insights:
  • Hamilton Wanderers is in the worst form (0-3-3)
  • Canterbury United has the most clean sheets (3) in Premiership

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!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Canterbury United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-9-14 (win-draw-loss) from 33 matches.

It's quite the trip for Canterbury United when visiting Hamilton Wanderers as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Hamilton Wanderers form and stats

Hamilton Wanderers have collected 5 points from their Premiership home games so far after 1-2-2.

The Wanderers crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-4 to Hawke's Bay United here at Porritt Park in a Premiership match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Auckland City (1-2).

The Hamilton Wanderers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Wanderers defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Canterbury United form and stats

The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (3) in Premiership, are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership. Two points from the last two away games for Canterbury United, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Waitakere United (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The Premiership match ended in a draw 3-3. Before that, Canterbury United secured a home win against Eastern Suburbs with the score 1-0.

Drawing 3-3 against Waitakere United after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager L. Padmore needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Waitakere United was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Canterbury United are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 5 away games so far. Canterbury United have conceded 10 goals in these games.
