Vale of Leithen form and stats

Vale of Leithen are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Vale of Leithen with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Vale of Leithen manager J. Burrell might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

In their previous game, the manager J. Burrell led his Vale of Leithen to a defeat in the Football League match away at Edinburgh University. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Victoria Park. Preceding that match was a defeat to East Kilbride (0-3).

There will be little rest for Vale of Leithen after this match as they are travelling to Stirling University for a Football League game in only four days.

At Victoria Park, Vale of Leithen has the goal stats of 1-8 (for/against) from 2 fixtures.
