Holyhead Hotspur form and stats

The FAW Championship results at home this season for Holyhead Hotspur are 1-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Holyhead with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Chirk AAA game, 50 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

No payout for Holyhead Hotspur in their previous match, an away game at Llandudno that ended in defeat 2-5. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Prior to that, an away loss at Colwyn Bay.

Holyhead has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Holyhead Hotspur defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
