Olympique Marseille II form and stats

There's been little loot from Olympique Marseille II's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the CFA Group C. Olympique Marseille II only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. With the Olympique losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Olympique Marseille II lost away at Grasse (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Olympique Lyonnais II.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Olympique as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. Olympique Marseille II struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 22 goals conceded from these games. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
