Kisumu All Stars form and stats

Kisumu All Stars have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 0-3-4 (7 played). With the Kisumu All Stars losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Kisumu All Stars's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Kisumu All Stars have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 232 minutes ago. W. Kemboi was the goal scorer.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Gor Mahia with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Bandari.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kisumu All Stars manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Tusker.

Kisumu All Stars are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 7 away games. In the opposite end, Kisumu All Stars have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
