Stevenage form and stats

Last season their EFL Trophy adventure ended in the quarter-finals.

Stevenage's results here at The Lamex Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 2 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats. With nine home League Two games in a row without a win, the Stevenage fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Morecambe game long ago, can be stopped today. Problems are piling up for Stevenage as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of eight games. This streak could be one for the history books.

The spoils were shared in Stevenage's previous game, also at home. Visiting Portsmouth (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) travelled back with a draw after a 3-3 scoreline. A League Two defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Crewe Alexandra.

Opportunity lost for Stevenage in the Portsmouth (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. A goal frenzy last time out for Stevenage, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Portsmouth (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties). Fun stuff to watch!

Stevenage aren't scoring a lot here at The Lamex Stadium in the league, with only 10 goals from 17 games. Stevenage's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Southampton U21 form and stats

Southampton was sent out of EFL Trophy in the group stage last season.

5-1-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Southampton U21 in their Premier League U21 matches away.

Southampton are travelling again after losing away to Coventry City in their previous match (2-3). It was a EFL Trophy defeat before that one as the away game against Walsall wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Late heartbreak for Southampton in the Coventry City match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.

Southampton have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 25 goals from 11 away matches. The Southampton U21 manager R. Jaïdi has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
