Mura form and stats

Let's have a look at how Mura performed last season in the 1. SNL: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 12 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 57 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 8 and lost 5 with 26/26 goals scored/conceded.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mura playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 4 Mura wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

It's a day of discovery for Mura as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Mura have played six with the results W2-D1-L3 (win-draw-lost). In these games Mura has scored 12 goals and conceded 11 times.
