3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of ES Sétif playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. It could be a hat trick of victories away for ES Sétif, as they have won on their previous two travels.

ES Sétif are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the game against MC Oran (placed 12th). As mentioned above, Sétif was the only team on the pitch versus MC Oran in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
