I’ve been tracking the recent run of form for both sides, the home side has recorded 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses across their last 10 outings, but they have picked up winning momentum lately and kept their positive run going.

Their backline is full of unpatched gaps that opponents can exploit far too easily, leaving them huge uphill work to get anything positive from this fixture. Even though Orgryte still holds a modicum of respectable home form, having gone unbeaten
