The league table in Football League tells a story about these teams so far, with Rothes leading Turriff United by 20 points. Match preview to follow:
Rothes form and stats
Rothes have been very solid at home in the Football League so far, with 18 points collected from 7 matches (6-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 5th position in the table. After failing to beat Nairn County here at MacKessack Park, Rothes has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena.
Rothes's previous game was a Football League match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Clachnacuddin (placed 16th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that match was the home Scottish Cup game against Inverurie Loco Works that was lost 1-3.
Rothes are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (21 goals in 7 games). Rothes have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Turriff United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Turriff United so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Turriff United who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Fort William was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Turriff United have lost on their last two travels.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Turriff United, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Huntly (placed 12th). A 0-3 defeat away at Lossiemouth before that.
Turriff United have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Turriff United's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 18 goals in 7 travels.
