Championship: Two squads in pretty good shape get together for this match. Dundela could have a slight upper hand with their 3rd spot in the standings?
- Ards have the most scored goals in the second half (21) in Championship
- Dundela have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won away.
Ards are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. For Dundela most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
Dundela could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Championship game only four sleeps ago.
Ards form and stats
Ards are steadily winning Championship games and points here at Bangor Fuels Arena. 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 10 games.
No payout for Ards in their previous match, an away game at Knockbreda that ended in defeat 2-3. The first defeat after collecting points in five league fixtures.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Newington Youth in a game that was won 2-1.Take note that 9 of the latest 10 league matches from this club have had goals from both teams.
Ards have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Bangor Fuels Arena with 19 goals in 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
Dundela form and stats
The visitors are W5-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. Recent form does not give Dundela much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Ards will be a tough nut to crack.
Dundela have much to play for after their out-of-character loss (2-3) to H&W Welders in their previous outing, played at their own home ground. A huge disappointment for Dundela in their last match (vs H&W Welders). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.
A 0-3 defeat away at Annagh United before that.Dundela have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 11 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Dundela have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
