This could be an absorbing game as Airdrieonians have their supposed home advantage, while Edinburgh City are in front by 6 points in the League One table.
- Airdrieonians have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Edinburgh City have the most scored goals (37) in League One
7-4-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Edinburgh City when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 18 matches are 29-29 (scored/conceded).
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Airdrieonians form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Excelsior Stadium as Airdrieonians have scored 20 goals to get 17 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the League One are 5-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Airdrieonians enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Montrose's place. The match ended 4-2 with Fordyce scoring. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
1-1 away at Falkirk before that.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Airdrieonians's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 6 matches, drawn 0 and lost 1.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (20 in 8 games), Airdrieonians's attacking play is working. Airdrieonians have conceded 10 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Edinburgh City form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (37) in League One, are W5-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the League One.
Impressive finishing from Robertson secured the home win 4-0 against Peterhead in their previous game. As mentioned above, Edinburgh City was the only team on the pitch versus Peterhead in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Which player has scored three matches in a row for the away team? The correct answer is Robertson and that is quite the accomplishment!
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Montrose.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Edinburgh playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 3 away wins, 1 draw and 1 home win.
As opposed to that, Edinburgh City have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
