Edinburgh University form and stats

There's been little loot from Edinburgh University's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Football League - Lowland League. Edinburgh University only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 0 draws. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Edinburgh who have suffered through a eleven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.

Edinburgh University play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-8 to Tranent Juniors (placed 2nd). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Tranent Juniors was particularly ugly (0-8). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A 1-2 defeat away at Bo'ness United before that.

Observe that 17 of this team's 18 latest league games have ended with three goals or more.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Edinburgh University as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. There are big problems for the Edinburgh defense as they have conceded 45 goals in 11 away games.
