The league table in Erovnuli Liga 2 tells a story about these teams so far, with Norchi Dinamo leading Tskhinvali by 41 points. Match preview to follow:
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 Norchi Dinamo and Tskhinvali.
Norchi Dinamo form and stats
Norchi Dinamo, who have the most scored goals (75) in Erovnuli Liga 2, have been very solid at home in the Erovnuli Liga 2 so far, with 37 points collected from 14 matches (12-1-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table.
Norchi Dinamo's previous game was a Erovnuli Liga 2 match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Gagra (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that match was the home David Kipiani Cup game against Saburtalo that was lost 0-1.
Norchi Dinamo are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (42 goals in 14 games). From these home matches, Norchi Dinamo have conceded only 13 goals.
Tskhinvali form and stats
Tskhinvali, who have the fewest clean sheets (5) in Erovnuli Liga 2, have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Erovnuli Liga 2, after 3-3-8 (14 played). Bitter travels for Tskhinvali as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Guria match. It's looking increasingly bleak for Tskhinvali who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Zugdidi was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Tskhinvali failed to get anything from their last game, a Erovnuli Liga 2 home match vs Shevardeni 1906 (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Gagra's place.
The attacking power of Tskhinvali when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 14 league matches away. 20 goals have been conceded by Tskhinvali in these games.
