Only a few games have been played in the Erovnuli Liga 2 so far, with Rustavi placed 3rd and Gagra sitting in the 7th position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Rustavi form and stats
Rustavi are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Erovnuli Liga 2 games here at Erovnuli Nakrebis Teknikuri Tsentri. Three draws in a row here at Erovnuli Nakrebis Teknikuri Tsentri for Rustavi, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
It's back home for Rustavi, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating WIT Georgia away with the result 2-1. G. Kharebashvili and V. Prokopenko found the net in that victory. In the match before that, Rustavi hosted Sioni and drew the game 2-2.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Rustavi at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Gagra form and stats
One match played away so far in the Erovnuli Liga 2 for Gagra and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses from 18 games.
The manager G. Kirkitadze was unhappy after their last game, a Erovnuli Liga 2 match played at their home ground University of Taipei (Taipei City). Gagra suffered a 2-3 loss to Shevardeni 1906 (placed 6th). A draw for Gagra before that, at their own venue hosting Zugdidi (0-0).
A huge disappointment for Gagra in their last match (vs Shevardeni 1906). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.
It's early days yet, but Gagra has scored 0 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last six meetings: four - one - one (Rustavi wins - draws - Gagra wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
