There's been little loot from Chikhura's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 12 away games in the Erovnuli Liga 2. Chikhura only have 0 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. Chikhura are desperate to end a 18-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Guria fixture.

Chikhura failed to get anything from their last game, a Erovnuli Liga 2 home match vs Gareji (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-3.

A 0-2 defeat away at Sioni before that.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Chikhura's away games in the league this season with only 6 goals from 12 matches. The Chikhura manager M. Mikadze has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
