Sunshine Coast form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sunshine Coast, who have the fewest points (0) away in Npl Queensland, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-8 (win-draw-lose). Sunshine Coast have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 8 away matches played so far. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Sunshine Coast have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Gold Coast Knights game. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Sunshine Coast, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Western Pride game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Sunshine Coast, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-6 versus Western Pride. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Magpies Crusaders.

Sunshine Coast have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, 8 away games. The Sunshine Coast defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 28 goals in their away games.
