Royal Excel Mouscron form and stats
0 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Royal Excel Mouscron, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in Pro League, playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Royal Excel Mouscron are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Mouscron have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 225 minutes ago. S. Tabekou was the goal scorer.
Royal Excel Mouscron might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. AS Eupen proved too strong as Mouscron slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Le Canonnier. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting KV Oostende's place.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Mouscron when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning one game.
Mouscron are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. The Royal Excel Mouscron manager F. Da Cruz has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
