Knockbreda form and stats

Knockbreda, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Championship, have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Breda Park. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Knockbreda fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Dundela game long ago, can be stopped today.
