Club Brugge II form and stats

It's not happening yet for Club Brugge II on their First Division B travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's all red in the travel logs of Brugge, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

There were no winners in Brugge's previous match, a First Division B home game that ended 1-1 vs Deinze (placed 3rd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against RFC Seraing wasn't a success with a 1-6 loss.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Club Brugge II defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 10 goals in their away games.
