They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 9 of their last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first.
