Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Cumbernauld Colts in 10th and Kelty Hearts in 7th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Cumbernauld Colts form and stats
Cumbernauld Colts have played three Football League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
As mentioned above, Cumbernauld Colts "killed" Vale of Leithen in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Football League game versus Edusport Academy in only three days. This game is also played here at Broadwood Stadium.
A decent goal production from Cumbernauld in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. On the other hand, Cumbernauld have conceded 4 goals.
Kelty Hearts form and stats
Kelty Hearts are yet to lose a point on their Football League travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.
Hearts play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Brechin City. A draw for Hearts before that, at their own venue hosting Peterhead (after extra-time, 3-5 on penalties) (1-1).
The schedule is very tough for Hearts now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Football League game at Gala Fairydean Rovers is waiting in only three days.
Kelty Hearts have the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Cumbernauld-Kelty Hearts H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Cumbernauld Colts two wins, Kelty Hearts one win, zero draws. two of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Cumbernauld Colts missing players
