Hoganas form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Division 2: Vastra Gotaland ended in defeat. Last season Hoganas had these away match statistics: Played 14; won 4, drew 0 and lost 10. Three has not been a lucky number for Hoganas as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Ullared match.

Hoganas failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Savedalen (placed 10th) that ended with defeat 1-3.

A 1-4 loss hosting Hittarp before that.

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 Hoganas playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, zero draws and three home wins.

1 goal so far away for Hoganas, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
