Cowdenbeath form and stats

Cowdenbeath have played three League Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Cowdenbeath are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

C. Kavanagh was the last player to score a league goal for Cowdenbeath and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Cowdenbeath haven't scored in 180 minutes.

No payout for Cowdenbeath in their previous match, an away game at Stirling Albion that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Queen's Park that was lost 0-3.

The lack of attacking qualities in Cowdenbeath means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Cowdenbeath with 7 goals conceded in these matches.

Brechin City form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (22) in League Two, on their League Two travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Brechin who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Albion Rovers was the last time a defeat was avoided. Brechin seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Two away games in a row for Brechin, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Stenhousemuir in the League Two. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Stranraer.

After this away game Brechin return home for a League Two game against Annan Athletic. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Brechin City manager M. Wilson has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head
