Deeside Dragons Academy u19s are struggling for form, managing just 7 points from their last 6 games (39% of available points). Their 2-1-3 (W-D-L) record shows a balanced run of results.
However, there are signs of a dip with fewer points earned recently compared to earlier matches. Halting this decline before it becomes a pattern is important.
The attack has been reasonably productive with 14 goals at 2.3 per game. There's room for improvement, but the team is creating and converting chances.
There's work to do defensively with 17 goals conceded (2.8 per game). Tightening up at the back would take pressure off the attack and lead to more comfortable results. Positively, fewer goals have been conceded recently, indicating improved defensive organization. A negative goal difference of -3 highlights the team is being outscored across these fixtures.
Interestingly, the team has been stronger on the road with 2 wins from 4 away games compared to 0 from 2 at home. Finding ways to replicate that away form in front of home fans would boost results.
In goal, Finn Ogden has been exceptional with a 94.8% save percentage and 5.00 goals against average across 3 appearances. This elite netminding has been crucial to the team's results, with 91 saves from 96 shots faced.
Most recently, a 1-2 defeat to Coventry Under 19s was a narrow setback that could have gone either way.
Deeside Dragons Academy u19s currently sit in 5th place with 25 points from 18 games played. They are projected to maintain their current position through the remaining 0 games, finishing with approximately 25 points.
A form rating of 43/100 highlights some struggles. Areas of concern include steady scoring (2.9 goals/game) and defensive vulnerabilities (3.1 conceded/game).
Performance has been consistent regardless of venue: 4-5-0 at home and 4-4-1 away.
The projected finish range of 5th to 5th reflects the uncertainty in any prediction. This narrow range suggests a relatively predictable finish, though close competition means every point will matter.
The outlook is neutral - there's potential for improvement, but also room for caution.
