Black Rhinos form and stats

3-3-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Black Rhinos in their Premier Soccer League matches away. It's looking increasingly bleak for Black Rhinos who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Manica was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Black Rhinos manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Black Rhinos play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to CAPS United. A 0-1 defeat away at Bulawayo Chiefs before that.

We have checked recent matches where Black Rhinos have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were W0-D1-L1.

The attacking power of Black Rhinos when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Black Rhinos have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
