The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Osijek II so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Osijek II in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Marsonia.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Zagorec (after extra-time).

The attacking power of Osijek when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away.
