Renova form and stats

Renova have collected 4 points from their First League home games so far after 1-1-1. Renova has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager B. Islami and the players.

Renova are returning here after visiting Ohrid in a Macedonian Cup game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Shkupi in the First League.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Renova played a great game against Ohrid and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Renova have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost three.

Renova have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Defensively Renova have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
