Tekstilshchik hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 22 points and a 16th position in the FNL table. Visiting Baltika holds 8th place with 31 pts.
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 Tekstilshchik and Baltika.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Baltika have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Baltika have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Tekstilshchik form and stats
2 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Tekstilshchik have to build on here at Stadion Tekstilshchik in the FNL.
Tekstilshchik drew their last game, also a home match. Krasnodar II (placed 14th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Akron.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tekstilshchik as they are travelling to their away game against SKA Khabarovsk in the FNL. That match is four days after this one.
Tekstilshchik have scored 7 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. Tekstilshchik's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Baltika form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their FNL travels is 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
Baltika have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 221 minutes ago. A. Dudiev was the goal scorer.
Baltika are travelling again after losing away to Spartak Vladikavkaz in their previous match (0-5). A loss against Neftekhimik was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Spartak Vladikavkaz was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Baltika manager E. Kaleshin as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Volgar Astrakhan.
Baltika have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. Baltika have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Last three meetings between the teams: Tekstilshchik won two, Baltika won one and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, zero matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
