Cowdenbeath form and stats

0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Cowdenbeath playing as the away team in the League Two this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Cowdenbeath have lost on their last two travels.

Cowdenbeath lost away at Stirling Albion (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Cowdenbeath lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Forfar Athletic.

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 Cowdenbeath playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.

Goals are few and far between in Cowdenbeath's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. Cowdenbeath have conceded 9 goals in these games.
