Read the below stats to get you warmed up for the big fixture!
Glengarry are scoring an average of 2.69 goals per game and conceding an average of 1.4 goals per game.
Kilmory are scoring an average of 3.1 goals per game and conceding an average of 1.42 goals per game, this is only a small drop off from last season’s numbers which shows Kilmory are adapting well to life in Mowi South Division 1.
Growing into the game
The data indicates a surge in scoring between the 30th and 45th minutes, with 12 goals, suggesting a strong end to the first half. This peak could reflect effective team fitness, tactical adjustments, or opponents' waning concentration. Early in matches (0-15 minutes), with only 2 goals, Glengarry appears to be more conservative, possibly assessing opponents before intensifying their attacks.
Tired legs?
Between the 15th and 45th minutes, Glengarry's defence appears much stronger, conceding only 2 goals in total. This period of relative stability indicates effective mid-half defensive strategies and possibly better adaptation to the opponents' tactics. However, the second half tells a different story. The 45-60 and 60-75 minute intervals see another 4 goals conceded each, indicating potential lapses in concentration or fatigue setting in after halftime. The most critical vulnerability is in the final 15 minutes, where 8 goals are conceded.
Finishing teams off early
The data indicates a balanced approach in the middle stages of the match, with 8 goals scored in each of the 15-30, 30-45, and 45-60 minute intervals. This suggests a steady and sustained attacking pressure. However, the standout feature of Kilmory's scoring times is the final 15 minutes, where they netted a remarkable 14 goals. This dramatic spike indicates a powerful finishing capability, likely driven by a combination of increased urgency, superior stamina, and opponents' fatigue or defensive errors.
Stiff after the break?
Kilmory's worst period is 5 goals conceded between the 45th and 60th minutes. This suggests that the team might struggle to regain defensive coherence post-halftime, a critical period for many teams.
Interestingly, Kilmory's defence stabilises somewhat in the later stages, with 3 goals conceded in both the 60-75 and 75-90 minute intervals. This consistency indicates a capacity to recover and maintain defensive solidity as the match draws to a close, possibly due to strategic adjustments or increased focus.
Nick a goal
Nick Dalgety is comfortably Glengarry's top goalscorer this campaign with 24 goals with Robertson and Cameron chipping in with 12 between them.
Taylormade success
Craig Taylor is Kilmory's top marksman this campaign bagging 17 goals in 16 games. Jackson, Gilmour & Leiper are the chasing pack, but for Kilmory, any goalscorer would be welcome come Saturday.
