Nieciecza form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nieciecza so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

The attacking power of Nieciecza when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Nieciecza's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
