It's a new born David Kipiani Cup campaign and Gardabani are itching to get on the pitch here at Tbilisi - Olympiuri Kompeksi. Rustavi are guesting and this could be a stirring season premiere.
This ground has the surface artifical turf, unlike Rustavi's home stadium. The last six games by the visitors on artifical turf have resulted in 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses.
Gardabani form and stats
Last season, Gardabani's league stats were 11 wins, 6 draws and 21 losses, providing 17th position in the David Kipiani Cup. In these 38 matches they scored 39 goals and gave away 63. Appearing as the home team in the former season Gardabani generated 8-1-10 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 32 conceded.
Rustavi form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Rustavi as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 2 victories from 14 games, relegation was a fact. Rustavi's manager Jokhadze are hoping to lead the team right back to Erovnuli Liga 2 at the first attempt.
That defeat was their first after three consecutive league games winning points.
