Lovech form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lovech so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Lovech are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Three has not been a lucky number for Lovech as they have been defeated three times in a row since the FK Minyor Pernik match.

Lovech failed to get anything from their last game, a Vtora Liga home match vs Kariana Erden (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Septemvri Sofia wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Late heartbreak for Lovech in the Kariana Erden match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Lovech have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
