Madrid are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played twelve in a row without losing.

Madrid's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Sevilla that finished 2-2. A 0-2 defeat away at Chelsea before that.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The La Liga trip to Athletic Club.

The travelling fans enjoy Madrid's attacking play in away games, having scored 29 goals in 17 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Madrid as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
