There's been little loot from Balıkesirspor's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 13 away games in the 1. Lig. Balıkesirspor only have 1 win to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. With the Balıkesirspor losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The attacking players of Balıkesirspor have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 194 minutes.

Prior to that match, the Balıkesirspor manager Bulak faced defeat when travelling to Gençlerbirliği and losing 0-2.

You'll want to know how Balıkesirspor managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found twelve similar matches resulting in four away wins, one draw and seven home wins.

The attacking power of Balıkesirspor when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Balıkesirspor struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 25 goals conceded from these games.
