Only a win will satisfy the Loughgall supporters in this Lakeview Park clash with PSNI, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Championship table.
It's no vacation for neither Loughgall nor PSNI 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.
Loughgall form and stats
Overall Championship stats at home this season for Loughgall are 7-3-5 (wins-draw-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at Lakeview Park after three straight home wins.
Loughgall's previous game was a Championship match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus H&W Welders (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result.
Loughgall have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Lakeview Park with 24 goals in 15 league matches. On the other hand, Loughgall have conceded 16 goals.
PSNI form and stats
PSNI, who have the most conceded goals (98) in Championship, have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Championship, after 4-2-10 (16 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for PSNI who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Dergview was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. McFadden, the PSNI manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
PSNI might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Dundela proved too strong as PSNI slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Newforge Lane.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Dundela was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ballyclare Comrades in just four days.
PSNI have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 22 goals have been scored. The PSNI defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 52 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Loughgall - PSNI 6-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's seven Loughgall victories, zero draws and three PSNI wins.
