The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brescia so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-9 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Brescia, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Lecce game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing four defeats in a row for Brescia in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Parma.
