Zugdidi form and stats

There's been little loot from Zugdidi's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 10 away games. Zugdidi, who have the fewest points (1) away in Erovnuli Liga 2, only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row. With the Zugdidi losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Two away games in a row for Zugdidi, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Samtredia in the Erovnuli Liga 2. A 0-2 defeat away at Telavi before that.
