Fort William form and stats

Fort William, who have the most conceded goals (18) away in Football League, have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 4 away matches played so far in the Football League. A depressing four defeats in a row for Fort William in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Brora Rangers. It's a growing despair in Fort William as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Football League home defeat versus Turriff United with 3-5 on the scoreboard. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Wick Academy.

A quick return to home after this game, as Fort William are hosting Lossiemouth in the Football League only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fort William as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Fort William can't defend away. 18 goals have been scored by the opposition in 4 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
