There's been little loot from Sarajevo's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Premier Liga. Sarajevo, who have the most clean sheets (10) in Premier Liga, only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 5 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Sarajevo who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Sarajevo have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. 9 goals have been conceded by Sarajevo in these games.
