Balcatta form and stats

Balcatta have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Npl Western Australia, after 0-2-5 (7 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Balcatta who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Perth was the last time a defeat was avoided.

There might be some fixture complaints from Balcatta as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Npl Western Australia match against Gwelup Croatia SC (1-3).

Prior to that match, the Balcatta manager faced defeat when travelling to Bayswater City and losing 1-5.

We have checked recent matches where Balcatta have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were two victories, zero draws and eleven defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Balcatta as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. The Balcatta manager has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
