The season has been a struggle for Gretna 2008 so far, and the same description fits Edinburgh University. The bottom dwellers eye some important points here.
- Gretna 2008 have yet to win a game at home.
- Edinburgh University have lost all their away matches so far.
These are full days for the team playing at home, as they had a match only three days ago in the Football League. This match was also played here at Raydale Park. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Edinburgh University have had more rest.
Gretna 2008 form and stats
Gretna 2008 have played three Football League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Gretna, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Gretna's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Bo'ness United (placed 12th).
Preceding that match was the home game against BSC Glasgow that was lost 1-2.The manager K. Brown will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Dalbeattie Star in only four days.
Gretna has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Gretna 2008 have conceded 5 from these games.
Edinburgh University form and stats
Edinburgh University are still without points from their Football League away games. 4 games, 4 defeats. A depressing four defeats in a row for Edinburgh in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Civil Service Strollers.
Edinburgh University might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Rangers U21 proved too strong as Edinburgh University slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at East Peffermill.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Edusport Academy.A new game in only four days for Edinburgh University, the Football League home match versus Stirling University. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Edinburgh as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Edinburgh can't defend away. 17 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.
