Eight Teams, One Number: Zero Points From Fifteen Games

India, Kuwait, North Korea, Botswana, Guinea-Bissau and three Swedish clubs are all mired in five-game losing runs with nothing to show for it.

Zero. That is the tally shared by eight teams right now, each having dropped five straight matches without picking up a single point. The losing streaks span three continents and three different competitions, but the shape of the slump is identical everywhere: LLLLL, five games, no draws to soften the blow.

Asia's Trio

In AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifying, India, Kuwait and North Korea have all gone LLLLL across their last five matches. None of the three has managed to salvage even a point in that stretch, leaving all three searching for answers before the next round of fixtures.

Botswana and Guinea-Bissau Feel It Too

The pattern repeats in Africa Cup of Nations 2025 qualifying, where Botswana and Guinea-Bissau share the same LLLLL form line. Five games, five defeats, zero points for both sides, a run that puts them alongside their Asian counterparts as the competition's coldest teams.

Sweden's Bottom Three

Domestically, Allsvenskan is producing its own version of the story. Åtvidabergs FF, GIF Sundsvall and Helsingborgs IF have each lost five in a row without a point to their name. Three clubs from the same league, all stuck in identical ruts at the same moment of the season.

What the Numbers Say

Form guides rarely line up this cleanly. Eight teams, three separate competitions, and not a single draw or win between them across a combined 40 matches in this sample. For India, Kuwait and North Korea, the next fixtures carry real weight given the Asian Cup qualifying context. For Botswana and Guinea-Bissau, the same applies in their AFCON qualifying group. In Sweden, Åtvidabergs FF, GIF Sundsvall and Helsingborgs IF will simply be hunting anything, a point, a goal, a positive result, to break a run that has given them nothing in five attempts.

None of these clubs are being written off. Slumps end, sometimes suddenly. But right now the data is blunt: zero points from fifteen matches is zero points from fifteen matches, wherever you are on the map.
