Kraft form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kraft so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-2 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Kraft are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Kraft are looking to quickly end their 191 minutes long goal drought in the Kakkonen.

Home advantage was not enough for Kraft in their previous game as they lost hosting RoPS, 0-4. Kraft lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A 0-1 defeat away at Vaajakoski before that.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Kraft have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

As it happens, the last time Kraft kept a "clean sheet" was also facing this opposition, ten league matches ago (Kraft - GBK 3-0). Stats for the last ten meetings between these two squads are: four wins for GBK, one draw and five wins for Kraft. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
