The hosts hold a positive goal difference (+5) in home matches alongside an impressive xG ratio (1.52 for vs 0.66 against), indicating their dominance at their home stadium.

The visitors have a negative goal difference (-3) in away fixtures and a concerning run of 4 defeats in their last 5 away games.
