A decent goal production from Strathspey Thistle in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 8 league matches.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Deveronvale so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-7 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Deveronvale in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Forres Mechanics.

The manager Dolan was unhappy after their last game, a Football League - Highland League match played at their home ground Princess Royal Park. Deveronvale suffered a 3-4 loss to Wick Academy (placed 8th).

A 0-4 defeat away at Brechin City before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deveronvale as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Deveronvale defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 33 goals in their away games.
