Pobeda form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pobeda, who have the fewest points (5) away in First League, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-10 (win-draw-lose). eight defeats in a row for Pobeda in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Skendija 79.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Pobeda, facing their second straight away game. Especially as that game, in the First League, ended a defeat 0-3 versus Makedonija. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Vardar.

The attacking power of Pobeda when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored in 13 matches. Pobeda have conceded 25 goals in these games.

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Pobeda - Belasica 1-1 entered in the official records. Belasica-Pobeda H2H statistics last six meetings regardless of arena: Belasica 1 win, Pobeda 4 wins, 1 draw.
