Sidama Bunna form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Sidama Bunna with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Sidama lost away at Fasil Ketema (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Fasil Ketema was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Adama Kenema.

The attacking power of Sidama when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. For Sidama Bunna, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
