Longford Town form and stats

Longford Town's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Longford Town, who have the most points (19) away in First Division, collect 19 points from their 9 away matches in the First Division. 6 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).

Home advantage was not enough for Longford in their previous game, as they lost their First Division-match, hosting Galway United, 2-6. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-0 at Athlone Town.

A huge disappointment for Longford Town in their last match (vs Galway United). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-6 defeat. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Galway United was particularly ugly (2-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Longford as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
