Struggling Arrows will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Minerva Punjab in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Arrows and Minerva Punjab.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Arrows form and stats
With 0 I-League wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Arrows, who have the most conceded goals (13) at home in I-League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home I-League games in a row without a win, the Arrows fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Gokulam game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Arrows to get some points in this home game.
Arrows haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 216 minutes ago. V. Singh scored that one.
The Arrows crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Chennai City here in a I-League match. Heartbreak before that as Arrows lost 0-1 at Real Kashmir's place.
Arrows has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Minerva Punjab form and stats
Minerva Punjab have only collected 5 points from their away games in the I-League, after 0-5-2 (7 played). Visiting Minerva Punjab has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
Minerva Punjab has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Gokulam for a I-League game that ended a draw (1-1). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Real Kashmir.
The attacking power of Minerva Punjab when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Minerva Punjab have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Minerva Punjab - Arrows 1-0. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: one - zero - four (Arrows wins - draws - Minerva Punjab wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
