Clyde form and stats
There's been little loot from Clyde's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the League One. Clyde only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Clyde are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Clyde delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Stranraer (placed 10th) in their previous match; a League One game. Prior to that match, the Clyde manager D. Lennon faced defeat when travelling to Peterhead and losing 0-2.
Clyde's last match (vs Stranraer) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw and a point thanks to a 84th minute equalizer by D. Goodwillie. D. Goodwillie had a super day against Stranraer scoring 3 goals, but the draw result hurt.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Clyde playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 1 Clyde win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
The attacking power of Clyde when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Clyde have conceded 19 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
