Welcome to MDS Complex and this game starring Gokulam and NEROCA in the I-League. Here's everything you should know!

Insights:
  • Gokulam have the fewest conceded goals (2) in I-League
  • NEROCA have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

These teams have little in common geographically as NEROCA have to travel 3800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Gokulam nor NEROCA as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

NEROCA form and stats

1-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for NEROCA in their I-League matches away.

NEROCA lost away at TRAU (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Late heartbreak for NEROCA in the TRAU match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Aizawl's place.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of NEROCA when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 7 matches with the visitors losing 5 times, drawing 2 and winning 0 games.

The attacking power of NEROCA when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. NEROCA have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head to head statistics (for the preceeding nine meetings): Gokulam won four games, two matches ended with a draw and NEROCA got three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / three.
