Only a win will satisfy the Krylya Sovetov supporters in this Samara Arena clash with Akron, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the FNL table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Krylya Sovetov form and stats
Home games in the FNL have been a walk in the park for Krylya Sovetov so far, with 25 points won from 10 matches; 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Sovetov has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Samara Arena. We remember; it was Orenburg.
In their previous game, the manager I. Osinkin led his Krylya Sovetov to a defeat in the FNL match away at Torpedo Moskva. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Samara Arena. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Shinnik in a game that was won 4-1.
Sovetov are traveling soon after this match as the FNL match at Krasnodar II awaits in four days.
Goals are plentiful at Samara Arena in the league this season as Sovetov has scored 25 goals here in 10 home games. As for guarding their own goal, Sovetov have only let in 3 goals at home. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Akron form and stats
Akron have only collected 2 points from their away games in the FNL, after 0-2-9 (11 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Akron have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the KAMAZ game.
Akron had fun at their own home (Samara Arena) last time out, beating Tekstilshchik 3-1. I. Chudin and A. Geryugov (2) scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Spartak Vladikavkaz wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.
A new game in only three days for Akron, the FNL home match versus Volgar Astrakhan. Busy days.
Goals are few and far between in Akron's away league games. Only 3 goals from 11 travels. Akron's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
