2 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Atletico Marte playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Santa Tecla.
