Rustavi welcome Dinamo Batumi for another interesting David Kipiani Cup fixture here at Erovnuli Nakrebis Teknikuri Tsentri.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Rustavi and Dinamo Batumi.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Dinamo Batumi have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 18-5-11 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.
Rustavi form and stats
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rustavi as they are travelling to their away game against Shevardeni 1906 in the Erovnuli Liga 2. That match is four days after this one.
Disaster struck Rustavi last season as they could not defend their status as a Erovnuli Liga 2 team. With 4 defeats from seven games, and only 2 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Rustavi are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W1 D1 L2.
Dinamo Batumi form and stats
A new game in only four days for Dinamo, the Erovnuli Liga home match versus Torpedo Kutaisi. Busy days.
Just as the home team, Dinamo Batumi have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 0 Dinamo wins, 0 draws and 1 loss.
A job perfectly done for Dinamo last season as they secured promotion from Erovnuli Liga. With a grand total of 5 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 3 were in away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last four meetings): Rustavi won zero games, zero matches ended with a draw and Dinamo Batumi has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / twoTop Goalscorers
