Concord Rangers form and stats

There's been little loot from Concord Rangers's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 18 away games in the Vanarama National League South. Concord Rangers only have 4 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 3 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Concord Rangers as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Welling United match.

Two away games in a row for Concord Rangers, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Farnborough. Concord Rangers were so close to getting something from the game against Farnborough, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.

Prior to that match, the Concord manager Small faced defeat when travelling to Hemel Hempstead Town and losing 0-3.

Concord Rangers have another match away from home in just three sleeps, a Vanarama National League South match against Worthing. A demanding itinerary for the guests!

The attacking power of Concord Rangers when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 18 league matches away. Concord struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 34 goals conceded from these games.
