There's been little loot from JSM Skikda's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 18 away games in the Ligue 1. JSM Skikda only have 0 wins to counter their 17 defeats and 1 draw. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 19 away games in a row.

Prior to that match, the Skikda manager C. Hadjar faced defeat when travelling to MC Oran and losing 0-1.

Skikda are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 21 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were one win, three draws and 17 defeats. Of the defeats, nine games were lost by at least two goals margin.

A quick return to home after this game, as JSM Skikda are hosting USM Alger in the Ligue 1 only three days away.

Goals are few and far between in Skikda's away league games. Only 7 goals from 18 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The JSM Skikda manager C. Hadjar has some worries about the defense as 40 goals have been conceded in these travels.
