Grótta form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Grótta so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Grótta as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Thor match.

Grótta lost away at HK (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

Prior to that match, the Grótta manager Brazell faced defeat when travelling to Vestri and losing 1-3.

Goal alert! This team have played 5 consecutive league games all having at least three goals (over 2.5 goals).

Grótta have conceded 13 goals in these games.
