Naftan form and stats

Playing away, Naftan have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 4 defeats in the Vysshaya Liga this season. With the Naftan losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Naftan aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 368 league minutes without a goal. Isaev was the last player to find the net.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Naftan, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Torpedo BelAZ (placed 2nd). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Torpedo BelAZ was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A loss against Belshina was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The attacking power of Naftan when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. The Naftan manager Puntus has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.
