Sutherland Sharks form and stats

Sutherland Sharks have only collected 6 points from their away games in the New South Wales, after 2-0-5 (7 played). With the Sutherland Sharks losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Sutherland Sharks lost away at Sydney II (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Sutherland Sharks did not look prepared in the first half against Sydney II and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.

A 0-2 loss hosting Mt Druitt Town before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sutherland playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 4 home wins.

Sutherland Sharks have conceded 12 goals in these games.
