Fakel form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Fakel's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Central'nyi Stadion Profsoyuzov.

Fakel's last game was hosting Olimpiyets (placed 13th) and winning 2-0. Sweet to taste a league win after four matches without. Midfield player Alshin got a match rating of 7.85 in that game, the max score being 10. Alshin served one assist and hit one key pass.

Heartbreak before that as Fakel lost 0-2 at Zenit's place.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Fakel as they have a new game in only four days, a Russian Cup match thankfully also at home. Orenburg are visiting.

Fakel has scored {3 goals} so far and conceded {4 goals} from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Orenburg.
