FC Isle of Man searching for elusive home win against Pilkington

Both sides played out goalless draw earlier this season

FC Isle of Man will be in search of a rare home win in the NWCFL Premier Division when they return to The Bowl this weekend.

On a run of five matches unbeaten, the Manx side welcome Pilkington to Manx shores tomorrow night (8 November).

The hosts will start the weekend five points above the drop zone whilst their visitors will go into Saturday's clash just a handful of points outside the top half.

During the reverse fixture between the sides back on 20 September, both played out a goalless draw at the PSD Stadium in what would prove to be previous FC Isle of Man Manager, Paul Jones' last game in charge.

Whilst FC Isle of Man have seen a recent upturn in form, finding victory on home turf has proven difficult so far this campaign as they've managed just one win in seven at The Bowl.

Elsewhere, Jack Edwards' Pilkington have just four wins on the road in all competitions so far.

The head-to-head record so far between the clubs is rather closely-matched with one win for each side over the other and three draws.

Prior to the goalless stalemate between the two earlier this season, the previous two matches before that between FC Isle of Man and Pilkington had ended in 3-3 draws.

FC Isle of Man vs Pilkington takes place at The Bowl in Douglas this Saturday (8 November), kicking-off at 6pm.
