Crucial clash in the lower part of the League One, with both Clyde and Kelty Hearts feeling more tension than happiness. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the home side positioned 9th and the visitors in 8th place.

Insights:
  • Clyde have the most matches over the total-line (13) in League One
  • Kelty Hearts have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

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.

Clyde form and stats

With 1 League One win, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Clyde are certainly not brimming with confidence. Clyde are slowly digging their own grave here at Fountain of Youth Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts.

No payout for Clyde in their previous match, an away game at Queen of the South that ended in defeat 0-1.

Before that, Clyde drew at home versus Alloa Athletic.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Clyde as they are travelling to their away game against Hamilton Academical in the Challenge Cup. That match is three days after this one.

The Clyde fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Clyde with 21 goals conceded in these matches.

Kelty Hearts form and stats

Kelty Hearts have only collected 7 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-1-7 (10 played).

Kelty Hearts are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Alloa Athletic (placed 5th).

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Dunfermline Athletic.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kelty Hearts manager Potter as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Queen of the South.

The attacking power of Hearts when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. As for defending, Kelty Hearts rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 19 goals from these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches. When Kelty Hearts is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 2 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Queen of the South, Kelty Hearts and Peterhead.

Head 2 Head

As it happens, the last time the hosts kept a "clean sheet" was also facing this opponent, 17 games ago (Clyde - Kelty Hearts 3-0). As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Clyde victory, zero draws and one Kelty Hearts win. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less. One of the players to grab the headlines has been Cunningham with 2 goals scored against Kelty Hearts in these 2 meetings.
