Competition: Georgia Erovnuli Liga 2
Date: Sat 13.April

Venue: Saragbo Baza Parki-Arena (3000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Saragbo Baza Parki-Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Kolkheti Poti languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Tskhinvali will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Kolkheti Poti and Tskhinvali should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Tskhinvali play their home games on artificial turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Tskhinvali when playing on grass are 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from six matches. They have scored 6 goals and conceded 10 times in these games.

Kolkheti Poti form and stats

Kolkheti Poti have played three home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Kolkheti Poti fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Lokomotivi Tbilisi game long ago, can be stopped today. It's trouble wherever Kolkheti Poti are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Kolkheti Poti will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Erovnuli Liga 2 game against Samtredia. Preceding that match was a defeat to Telavi (0-5).

The manager P. Metreveli will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Spaeri in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Kolkheti Poti means that they have only scored 0 goals in 3 home games, less than half a goal per match. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Kolkheti Poti with 7 goals conceded in these matches.

Tskhinvali form and stats

Things could have gone better for Tskhinvali in their away games, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Tskhinvali are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Erovnuli Liga 2 against Zugdidi. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Samtredia wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Tskhinvali has another fixture away, a David Kipiani Cup game, against Zugdidi in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tskhinvali as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
