In total they scored 48 and conceded {20 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 5 and lost 2 with 16/10 goals scored/conceded. A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the 2. SNL, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 6 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats from 13 matches.

Dravinja play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Dekani (placed 16th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Flis when Privošnik scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute.

Prior to that result Dravinja won their away game at Brezice in the 3. SNL. The scoreline was 3-2.

Dravinja have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
