Zugdidi form and stats

There's been little loot from Zugdidi's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 10 away games. Zugdidi, who have the fewest points (1) away in Erovnuli Liga 2, only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row. With the Zugdidi losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Two away games in a row for Zugdidi, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Samtredia in the Erovnuli Liga 2. A 0-2 defeat away at Telavi before that.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Zugdidi's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won 1 of these as expected, 1 of them by at least two goals. Zugdidi managed 0 draws and 0 surprise wins.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Zugdidi's away games this season with only 2 goals from 10 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Zugdidi have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
