Grbalj form and stats

There's been little loot from Grbalj's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the First League. Grbalj only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Grbalj are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Grbalj had fun at their own home (DG Arena) last time out, beating Rudar 1-0. R. Đalović scored. Prior to that match, the Grbalj manager M. Vidojević faced defeat when travelling to Iskra and losing 1-2.

Grbalj made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, M. Đukanović receiving a red card in the 43rd minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Grbalj won the match 1-0! Late drama in the previous game, when R. Đalović scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Rudar.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Grbalj playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, two draws and one home win.

The attacking power of Grbalj when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Grbalj have conceded 27 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
