Clyde form and stats

With 2 League One wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Clyde, who have the most conceded goals (26) in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Cove Rangers in the League One last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that match, a Scottish Cup win away at Ayr United.

D. Goodwillie was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Cove Rangers after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Clyde are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Falkirk awaits in four days.

The Clyde fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Clyde are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (15 from 7 played).

Cove Rangers form and stats

Playing away, Cove Rangers, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) away in League One, have won 2 games, drawn 4 and suffered 2 defeats in the League One this season. One point away has become something of a habit for Cove who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Cove are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Clyde (placed 8th). A 0-4 defeat away at Rangers before that.

The attacking power of Cove when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
