Neftchi form and stats

There's been little loot from Neftchi's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Professional Football League. Neftchi only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Neftchi, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Neftchi are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the fixture against Qizilqum (placed 5th). That win felt sweet as this club had gone five league fixtures without winning.

A loss against Pakhtakor was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The attacking power of Neftchi when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Neftchi have conceded 12 goals on the road.
