Recent Form + Tactical Duel
Arnett Gardens’ last five matches: D-D-L-W-W (1-1 Mt Pleasant H, 0-0 Treasure Beach A, 0-1 Harbour View H, 2-0 Tivoli A, 4-0 Racing United H), demonstrating defensive resilience at home with just one goal conceded in three but attack firing in wins. According to Sofascore data for Arnett Gardens, this form sets a strong foundation.
