Season ticket holders at David Petriashvili Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Gagra languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting Telavi will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Gagra form and stats

Gagra have played 7 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Gagra lost their last game at Shevardeni 1906 after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Guria.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Gagra have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Torpedo Kutaisi are coming to town in four days.

Gagra has scored 7 goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Gagra have only conceded 6 in these games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Telavi form and stats

3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Telavi playing as the away team this season. It's a growing despair in Telavi as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Telavi has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Erovnuli Liga 2 home defeat versus Kolkheti Poti with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Telavi manager D. Khomutov faced defeat when travelling to Samtredia and losing 2-6.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lokomotivi Tbilisi in just four days.

With an average of more than two away goals per game, Telavi are regular goalscorers on their travels. Telavi have conceded 12 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Telavi - Gagra 3-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: 3 - 3 - 1 (Gagra wins - draws - Telavi wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
