There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Olimpiyets leading SKA Khabarovsk by 16 points.
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 Olimpiyets and SKA Khabarovsk.
Olimpiyets form and stats
Olimpiyets, who have the most points (22) at home in FNL, are steadily winning FNL games and points here at Stadion Nizhny Novgorod. 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 9 games. Olimpiyets has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Nizhny Novgorod. We remember; it was Spartak Vladikavkaz. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Olimpiyets has won eight games in a row. The Krylya Sovetov match was the last time out without a victory.
Olimpiyets enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Veles's place. The match ended 3-1 with T. Suleymanov (2) and A. Sapeta scoring. Ahead of that match, Olimpiyets won a home game hosting Baltika (2-1).
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Olimpiyets's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played eight games, won five matches, drawn three and lost zero.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Olimpiyets, as the Russian Cup home game vs Khimki is only three days away.
The Olimpiyets fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. As for guarding their own goal, Olimpiyets have only let in 4 goals at home.
SKA Khabarovsk form and stats
There's been little loot from SKA Khabarovsk's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the FNL. SKA Khabarovsk only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.
Khabarovsk might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Yenisey proved too strong as SKA Khabarovsk slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion imeni V.I. Lenina. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Orenburg that ended 2-2.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Khabarovsk when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
After this away game Khabarovsk return home for a Russian Cup game against Rubin Kazan. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Khabarovsk have scored 8 goals in 7 league games away. Khabarovsk have conceded 13 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Olimpiyets, one draw and five wins for SKA Khabarovsk. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
