Lokomotivi Tbilisi welcome Telavi for another interesting David Kipiani Cup fixture here at Saguramos sapekhburto kompleksi.
It's no vacation for neither Lokomotivi nor Telavi as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Lokomotivi Tbilisi form and stats
It's the first season at a new level for Lokomotivi as they were promoted from Erovnuli Liga last season. Happy days that were secured through 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses from 14 games. The team scored 12 goals at home last season and conceded 13. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Lokomotivi as they have a new game in only four days, a Erovnuli Liga match thankfully also at home. Dinamo Batumi are visiting.
It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Lokomotivi Tbilisi, who have participated in four training matches. Lokomotivi have won 1 of these, drawn 0 and were beaten in 3 games.
Telavi form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Telavi as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 1 victory from 14 games, relegation was a fact. Telavi's manager G. Mikadze are hoping to lead the team right back to Erovnuli Liga at the first attempt.
Just as the home team, Telavi have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 1 Telavi win, 0 draws and 0 losses.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): Lokomotivi five wins, three draws and Telavi one victory. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
