San Diego Loyal form and stats

As the visiting team in USL Championship matches, San Diego Loyal have produced an overall stat of 4-3-6 so far.

Diego play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Las Vegas Lights (placed 8th). As you can tell from the result, the match against Las Vegas Lights was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Prior to that match, the San Diego Loyal manager L. Donovan faced defeat when travelling to Oakland Roots and losing 1-2.

Diego have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 19 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Diego have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
