Their overall return of 6 wins, 8 draws, and 10 losses with goals at 24:31 reflects poor form over their recent run. Their attacking weight is carried by Christopher Long (4 goals), J. Vidic (4 goals), S. Klein (4 goals), with creative support from James McGarry (3 assists), J. Vidic (2 assists), J. O'Shea (2 assists), while defensively they have appeared fairly stable. At home, the record of 3 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses points toward a fairly balanced split record. They are operating from a relatively stable mid-table position. Their broader style still suggests a more cautious and defensive approach. They are not at full strength, with N. Amanatidis, H. Bility, N.
