Vale of Leithen form and stats
With 0 Football League - Lowland League wins, 0 draws and 11 defeats from their home games, Vale of Leithen are certainly not brimming with confidence. Vale of Leithen are yet to produce one single Football League - Lowland League point here at Victoria Park, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 11 matches have been lost. With eleven home Football League - Lowland League games in a row without a win, the Leithen fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Cumbernauld Colts game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Leithen fans got no joy from their last match, a Football League - Lowland League game also here at Victoria Park: A 0-4 defeat against Civil Service Strollers (placed 6th). As you see from the result above, Vale of Leithen suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Before that match, a win away at Bo'ness United.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Leithen as they are travelling to their away game against Gala Fairydean Rovers in the Football League - Lowland League. That match is four days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Leithen here at Victoria Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 11 games). Leithen's defense is seriously deficient as 70 goals have been conceded in these matches. When Leithen hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Edinburgh University, Gretna 2008, Cumbernauld Colts, Stirling University and BSC Glasgow), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 5 of 5 times.
