The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tuzla City so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Tuzla are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Tuzla, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Borac Banja Luka (placed 3rd).

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Sloga Doboj.

Tuzla City have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 12 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
