It's a new David Kipiani Cup campaign and Matchakhela are itching to get started here at Tsentraluri Stadioni. Zestafoni are visiting and this looks to be a stirring season launch.
The visiting Zestafoni played their last game only four days ago, a Liga 3 match. That game, against Kolkheti Poti, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Zestafoni.
Matchakhela form and stats
Disaster struck Matchakhela last season as they could not defend their status as a Erovnuli Liga 2 team. With 20 defeats from 38 games, and only 5 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Matchakhela are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W4 D7 L8.
Zestafoni form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Zestafoni as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 4 victories from 14 games, relegation was a fact. Zestafoni's manager Jokhadze are hoping to lead the team right back to Liga 3 at the first attempt.
A quick return to home after this game, as Zestafoni are hosting Tbilisi City in the Liga 3 only three days away.
