Kawkab Marrakech form and stats

There's been little loot from Kawkab Marrakech's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the Botola 2. Kawkab Marrakech only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 6 draws. It's three draws from Marrakech's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 4-1 against KAC Kénitra in their previous game.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Raja Beni Mellal that ended 1-1.

Marrakech are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 14 away games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
