St. Joseph form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Super League travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the St. Joseph manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

The supporters enjoyed St. Joseph's previous game versus Northern Wanderers (placed 20th), a Super League 3-2 win played at home. Prior to that match, the St. Joseph manager faced defeat when travelling to Coast Stima and losing 2-3.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with St. Joseph playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 0 St. Joseph wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

St. Joseph find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 5 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. The St. Joseph manager has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Police, 0 draws and 0 wins for St. Joseph. Over 2,5 goals: 0 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.
