Balanced ball game between Peterhead and Airdrieonians expected

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Airdrieonians have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-6-16 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.

Peterhead form and stats

Peterhead have played 4 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager J. McInally led his Peterhead to a defeat in the League One match away at Montrose. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Balmoor Stadium. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Clyde.

This is expected to be a close game, with Peterhead perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Peterhead as a small favourite), we find four games. Peterhead has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

The Peterhead fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. On the other hand, Peterhead have conceded 4 goals.

Airdrieonians form and stats

Airdrieonians have six points from their first three away games in the League One, meaning two victories and a loss.

There were no winners in Airdrieonians's previous match, a League One home game that ended 2-2 vs Stranraer (placed 9th). A loss against Raith Rovers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Airdrieonians playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were 1 Airdrieonians win, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

Airdrieonians find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Airdrieonians have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Peterhead, 1 draw and 4 wins for Airdrieonians. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
