Würzburger Kickers form and stats

There's been little loot from Würzburger Kickers's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 10 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Würzburger Kickers, who have the most conceded goals (43) in 2. Bundesliga, only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 0 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Würzburger are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

There might be some fixture complaints from Würzburger as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the 2. Bundesliga match against Greuther Furth (1-4). Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Fortuna Dusseldorf.

The attacking power of Würzburger Kickers when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. For Würzburger, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
