Gabès form and stats

There's been little loot from Gabès's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 12 away games. Gabès, who have the fewest points (2) away in Ligue 1, only have 0 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Gabès have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ben Guerdane game.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Gabès, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Etoile du Sahel. A draw for Gabès before that, at their own venue hosting Hammam-Lif (0-0).

The attacking power of Gabès when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored in 12 matches. The Gabès manager K. Zouaghi has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
