Otok form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Otok so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-12 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 16 away games in a row.

Otok failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Urania Baška Voda (placed 17th) that ended with defeat 3-4. As you can tell from the result, the match against Urania Baška Voda was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Junak wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Otok as they have only managed to score 13 times from 16 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Otok are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 13 goals in these matches.
