WIT Georgia form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. WIT Georgia, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Erovnuli Liga, have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 6 losses so far from their games here at Mikheil Meskhis Sakhelobis Stadionis Satadarigo Moedani. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as WIT Georgia have lost seven games in a row. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Mikheil Meskhis Sakhelobis Stadionis Satadarigo Moedani, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Dinamo Tbilisi game.

The fans are hoping that WIT Georgia will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Erovnuli Liga game against Saburtalo. Before that game, the home loss against Lokomotivi Tbilisi with the scoreline 0-3.

The lack of attacking qualities in WIT Georgia means that they have only scored 4 goals in 8 home games, less than half a goal per match. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the WIT Georgia defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
