Espanyol II form and stats

There's been little loot from Espanyol II's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Segunda B - Group 3. Espanyol II only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Espanyol, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
