Drita form and stats

Things could have gone better for Drita in their Second League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Drita has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Drita won their last game, 1-0 versus Vardari Forino played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Labunishta wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Drita have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 7 goals from 3 away matches. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Drita concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own. There are big problems for the Drita defense as they have conceded 9 goals in 3 away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Skopje, 2 draws and 3 wins for Drita. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.
