It's a fresh Football League - Lowland League campaign and Edusport Academy are eager to get on the pitch here at Galabank. Gala Fairydean Rovers are visiting and this could be a spellbinding season premiere.
Gala Fairydean Rovers play their home matches on grass, while this match will take place on artifical turf. Up to date stats for Gala Fairydean Rovers when featuring on artifical turf are 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from seven matches. They have scored 14 goals and conceded 8 times on these occasions.
Edusport Academy form and stats
Last season, Edusport Academy's league results were 15 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, producing 9th place in the Football League - Lowland League. During these 34 matches they scored 69 goals and gave away 48. Playing as the host team in the former season Edusport Academy managed 6-6-5 (win-draw-lost) with 32 goals and 25 conceded.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Edusport as they have a new game in only three days, a Football League - Lowland League match thankfully also at home. Gretna 2008 are visiting.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Edusport Academy friendly games in pre-season: Edusport Academy played one friendly, won 1, drew 0 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Edusport Academy scored 1 goal and conceded 0 in these one game.
Gala Fairydean Rovers form and stats
Let's have a look at how Gala Fairydean Rovers performed last season in the Football League - Lowland League: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 4 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 54 and conceded 66 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 7 with 31/28 goals scored/conceded.
That win felt nice as this side had gone three league rounds without victory.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Gala Fairydean Rovers manager Hastings as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Civil Service Strollers.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Fairydean have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeats from one fixture.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Edusport Academy one win, two draws and Gala Fairydean Rovers three victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Edusport Academy missing players
