Bełchatów form and stats

It's not happening yet for Bełchatów on their 1. Liga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Bełchatów have lost on their last two travels.

Bełchatów delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Tychy 71 (placed 10th) in their previous match; a 1. Liga game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Nieciecza wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Bełchatów are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Bełchatów have the goal stats of 0-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
