Norchi Dinamo hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 5 points and a 9th position in the Crystalbet Erovnuli Liga table. Visiting Lokomotivi Tbilisi holds 5th place with 16 pts.
Norchi Dinamo and Lokomotivi Tbilisi should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Lokomotivi Tbilisi 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 1-1-2 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
