Warrenpoint Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Warrenpoint Town's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Premiership. Warrenpoint Town only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in Warrenpoint as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Warrenpoint are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Warrenpoint aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 265 league minutes without a goal. A. O'Sullivan was the last player to find the net.

Warrenpoint are travelling again after losing away to Linfield in their previous match (0-6). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Crusaders wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

Warrenpoint lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one.

The attacking power of Warrenpoint Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. For Warrenpoint Town, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
