Eastern Lions form and stats

Eastern Lions are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Npl Victoria, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Eastern Lions might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Port Melbourne proved too strong as Eastern Lions slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Altona Magic.

It's early days yet, but Eastern Lions has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
