H&W Welders form and stats

Let's have a look at how H&W Welders performed last season in the Championship: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 5 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 52 and conceded 63 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 2 and lost 9 with 27/38 goals scored/conceded. A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Championship, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 5 wins, 2 draws and 9 defeats from 16 matches.

Two travels in a row for Welders, whose manager G. Smyth could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Queen's University. As mentioned above, H&W Welders was the only team on the pitch versus Queen's University in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Loughgall's place.

Welders has another fixture away, a Championship game, against Ards in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

H&W Welders have the goal stats of 5-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Newry won zero games, one match ended with a draw and H&W Welders has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / two
