Etar form and stats

There's been little loot from Etar's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 13 away games in the Parva Liga. Etar only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Etar are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Two away games in a row for Etar, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Botev Vratsa in the Parva Liga. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Slavia Sofia.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Etar playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Etar wins, one draw and two defeats.

A new game in only four days for Etar, the Parva Liga home match versus Slavia Sofia. Busy days.

The attacking power of Etar when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 13 league matches away. For Etar, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
