Club Brugge II form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Club Brugge II, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in First Division B, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-9 (win-draw-lose). Club Brugge II have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 9 away matches played so far in the First Division B.

The last time three points were secured away was the Gent II game. With the Club Brugge II losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Brugge lost away at RFC Seraing (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Lierse Kempenzonen's place.
