Blois form and stats

4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Blois playing as the away team in the CFA Group A this season. Blois has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Blois won their last game, 5-2 versus Vannes played at home. An insane game with heaps of goals last time out for Blois, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fixture, will this game be as refreshing?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Chateaubriant Voltigeurs wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Blois have scored 17 goals in 12 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Blois have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
