Bechem United vs Heart of Lions: match statistics
Bechem United displays impressive home form with a 60% win rate and as many as 90% clean sheets in matches at home, making them a very difficult opponent at their own stadium. The hosts have won 3 of their last 5 encounters, earning 1.8 points per match, while Heart of Lions has only a 10% win rate away and finishes half of their matches without scoring a goal. The difference in expected goals (xG) also favors the hosts – 1.5 xG for Bechem in home matches versus just 1.2 xG for Heart of Lions on the road. The visitors have a negative goal difference (-4) in away matches and a poor series in their last 5 games on foreign pitches.
