RC Arbaâ form and stats

RC Arbaâ are still undefeated on their travels in the Ligue 2. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Arbaâ have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 272 minutes since they last conceded in Ligue 2.

RC Arbaâ had fun at their own home (Stade Omar Benhaddad) last time out, beating JSM Béjaïa 4-0.

As mentioned above, RC Arbaâ was the only team on the pitch versus JSM Béjaïa in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

A new game in only three days for Arbaâ, the Ligue 2 home match versus WA Boufarik. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but RC Arbaâ has scored 4 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
