Topolite form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Topolite so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-11 (win-draw-lose). Football is a nightmare at the moment for Topolite who have suffered through a eight match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.

Topolite might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ludogorets III proved too strong as Topolite slumped to a 2-7 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Topoli. Topolite lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 2-7 beating and focus on this one.

A 1-3 loss hosting Dunav 2010 before that.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Topolite defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 39 goals in their away games.
