Bylis Ballsh form and stats

Bylis Ballsh have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 0-3-4 (7 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Bylis Ballsh's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The attacking players of Ballsh have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 303 minutes.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Teuta Durres wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Late heartbreak for Ballsh in the Vllaznia Shkodër match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bylis Ballsh as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bylis Ballsh have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
