Sofapaka form and stats

The visitors are W2-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

The attacking players of Sofapaka have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 261 minutes.

Sofapaka play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Bidco United (placed 8th).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against KCB.

A tale of few goals? 13 of this club's last 15 league matches have seen two or less goals.

It's not easy to score on Sofapaka as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
