Vale of Leithen form and stats

Zero (!) Football League points is the sad result after 4 matches here at Victoria Park. Can it change today? Problems are piling up for Vale of Leithen as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of seven games. This streak could be one for the history books.

Leithen's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-10 versus Celtic II (placed 6th). 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.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Civil Service Strollers (1-7).

There will be little rest for Leithen after this match as they are travelling to Edusport Academy for a Football League game in only three days.

Leithen have scored 0 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Leithen's defense is seriously deficient as 23 goals have been conceded in these matches.
