Warrenpoint Town form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premiership this season. Warrenpoint Town have only managed 1 win, 0 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Milltown Playing Fields. With eight home Premiership games in a row without a win, the Warrenpoint Town fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ballymena United game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager Gray led his Warrenpoint to a defeat in the Irish League Cup match away at Coleraine. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Milltown Playing Fields. Warrenpoint were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Linfield that finished 1-1.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Warrenpoint Town handle that role? We have found seven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are one win, four draws and two defeats.

The manager Gray will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Dungannon Swifts in only three days.

The Warrenpoint fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Warrenpoint have let the opposition score 29 times, an average of more than three per game.
