Inhulets' U21 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Inhulets' U21, who have the fewest scored goals (17) in Youth League, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-10 (win-draw-lose). With the Inhulets' U21 losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Inhulets' U21's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The attacking power of Inhulets' when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 12 league matches away. The Inhulets' defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 44 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
