GBK form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for GBK so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-4 (win-draw-lose). GBK has drawn their two previous away games.

Home advantage was not enough for GBK in their previous game, as they lost their Kakkonen-match, hosting Vaajakoski, 0-4. GBK 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 1-1 draw at JJK's stadium before that.

GBK are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. GBK are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 2 goals in these matches.
