The away performances of Sedan, who have the most clean sheets (16) in CFA Group A, have been very solid so far with 6 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats in the CFA Group A. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. In general it has been a productive period now for Sedan as they haven't lost any of their last 21 games.
