Vale of Leithen form and stats

Three Football League home games done for Vale of Leithen, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. It's trouble wherever Leithen are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Vale of Leithen will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-7 away loss in the Football League game against Civil Service Strollers (placed 1st). Leithen were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Bo'ness United that was lost 0-7.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Leithen as they have a new game in only four days, a Football League match thankfully also at home. East Kilbride are visiting.

The lack of attacking qualities in Vale of Leithen means that they have only scored 0 goals in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Leithen have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Bo'ness United at their stadium, the result 2-0.

Celtic has another fixture away, a Football League game, against Civil Service Strollers in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 8 goals in 3 league games away this season. As opposed to that, Celtic have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
