There's been little loot from Las Vegas Lights's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the USL Championship. Las Vegas Lights only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Lights are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Lights are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 8 games (in the league). The opposition has been scoring high and low on Lights's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 23 goals in 8 travels.
