Venue: Breda Park (1000 seats)

It's the second chance for points this season as Knockbreda and Annagh United battle it out at Breda Park.

It's no vacation for neither Knockbreda nor Annagh United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Annagh 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 7-7-17 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.

Knockbreda form and stats

Last season, Knockbreda's league statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 20 losses, resulting in a 12th position in the Championship. Over these 30 matches they scored 33 goals and conceded 85. Playing at home last season Knockbreda managed 1-3-10 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 43 conceded.

Knockbreda are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Newry City AFC.

A Irish League Cup defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Annagh United.

The manager C. McIlwrath will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Dundela in only four days.

Annagh United form and stats

Home advantage was not enough for Annagh United in their previous game, as they lost their Championship-match, hosting Ards, 2-3. Annagh were so close to getting something from the game against Ards, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.

Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Knockbreda in the Irish League Cup.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ballyclare Comrades in just four days.

Head 2 Head
