The Kelty Hearts manager B. Ferguson attacks this game with the team placed 5th so far. In the visitors dressing room Vale of Leithen and their manager J. Burrell are in 15th place before this match.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hearts and Vale of Leithen.
Kelty Hearts form and stats
As mentioned below, Kelty Hearts are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Football League games.
A nice win for Hearts last time playing, versus Dalbeattie Star. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0.
Kelty Hearts are traveling soon after this match as the Football League match at Edusport Academy awaits in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kelty Hearts at home in the league. 6 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Vale of Leithen form and stats
It's not happening yet for Vale of Leithen on their Football League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Vale of Leithen who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Berwick Rangers was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Vale of Leithen's last three away games as they have all been lost.
After this away game Vale of Leithen return home for a Football League game against East Stirlingshire. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Goals are few and far between in Leithen's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. There are big problems for the Leithen defense as they have conceded 9 goals in 3 away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Kelty Hearts three wins, one draw and Vale of Leithen zero victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Kelty Hearts missing players
