If you are in a higher league, your attacker will go for trophies, and they will most likely start from the top, where the Town Hall is close to. It looks close, but in a ground attack your troops will go off to the side and get sprung, but if they do make it into the Town Hall enclosure, they will get fired on by many defenses. Don't count on a good air attack defense, though, I haven't tried it.
