Red Arrows form and stats

There's been little loot from Red Arrows's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the Super League. Red Arrows only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Arrows goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Arrows had fun at their own home (Vodafone Stadium) last time out, beating Buildcon 1-0. Before that, Red Arrows travelled to Young Green Eagles and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

The attacking power of Red Arrows when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Arrows in these games.
