A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Olimpiyets fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Chertanovo's 20th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It's no vacation for neither Olimpiyets nor Chertanovo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Olimpiyets form and stats
26 points is a decent return from 11 FNL games here at Stadion Nizhny Novgorod for Olimpiyets. The data says 8 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Olimpiyets haven’t lost a league-game in 13 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Krylya Sovetov, 67 days ago.
Olimpiyets are confident in defense, having played 307 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A strong away win for Olimpiyets against Spartak Moskva II the last match, as N. Kalinskiy, T. Suleymanov, K. Gotsuk and I. Gorbunov were on target. Before that match, a win away at Yenisey.
As mentioned above, Olimpiyets "killed" Spartak Moskva II in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There will be little rest for Olimpiyets after this match as they are travelling to Irtysh for a FNL game in only three days.
The Olimpiyets fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. Olimpiyets have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.
Chertanovo form and stats
There's been little loot from Chertanovo's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 9 away games in the FNL. Chertanovo only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Chertanovo who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Baltika was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on A. Dmitriev, the Chertanovo manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a FNL home defeat versus Yenisey with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Orenburg wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The FNL trip to Tom' Tomsk.
The attacking power of Chertanovo when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Chertanovo have conceded 16 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last three meetings: one - one - one (Olimpiyets wins - draws - Chertanovo wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
