Early season league goal statistics from Wellington Phoenix Res's 2 home games: 0 goals, 5 conceded.
Hawke's Bay United form and stats
It's not happening yet for Hawke's Bay United on their Premiership travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With the Hawke's losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Hawke's seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Home advantage was not enough for Hawke's in their previous game, as they lost their Premiership-match, hosting Canterbury United, 0-3. A 1-2 defeat away at Auckland City before that.
Hawke's Bay United have the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
