Struggling Irtysh will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Veles in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Irtysh and Veles.
Irtysh form and stats
Irtysh's struggle is real here with only 7 points collected from 9 FNL games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-6.
No payout for Irtysh in their previous match, an away game at Baltika that ended in defeat 2-3. In the match before that, Irtysh hosted Krasnodar II and drew the game 0-0.
There will be little rest for Irtysh after this match as they are travelling to SKA Khabarovsk for a FNL game in only three days.
Irtysh have scored 4 goals here in 9 league matches, a depressing statistic. Irtysh have conceded 17 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Veles form and stats
Veles's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Veles collect 16 points from their 8 away matches in the FNL. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
182 minutes! That's how long the Veles goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Veles's last game was the home draw against Tom' Tomsk (0-0). A 1-3 loss hosting Ural before that.
A new game in only four days for Veles, the FNL home match versus Dinamo Bryansk. Busy days.
Veles have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 10 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Veles as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
