Guria form and stats

Guria's struggle is real here at Stadioni Evgrapi Shevardnadze with only 6 points collected from 8 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 2-0-6.

Guria's last game was hosting Zugdidi and winning 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Guria lost 0-3 at Merani Martvili's place.

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 Guria have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

Guria have scored 7 goals here in 8 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

Zugdidi form and stats

There's been little loot from Zugdidi's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 8 away games. Zugdidi, who have the fewest points (1) away in Erovnuli Liga 2, only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Zugdidi as they have lost seven games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gagra. Three has not been a lucky number for Zugdidi as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Shukura match.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Zugdidi, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Guria. A 1-3 defeat away at Tbilisi City before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Zugdidi in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Zugdidi, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

Goals are few and far between in Zugdidi's away games. Only 2 goals from 8 travels. Zugdidi have conceded 12 goals in these games.
