USM Blida form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for USM Blida, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Ligue 2, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). With the Blida losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Blida's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Blida's previous game was their home loss versus WA Boufarik (1-3). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kouba wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Msila in just four days.

The visiting Blida have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 7 games. USM Blida have conceded 15 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the USM Blida - Aknoun 0-1 played earlier this season.
