This could be an interesting match as Telavi have their presumed home advantage while Samtredia are ahead 8 points in the Erovnuli Liga 2 table.

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 Telavi and Samtredia.

Telavi form and stats

Telavi have performed well here at Stadioni Givi Chokheli so far this season with 7 wins from 12 matches. Some points have also been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 2.

The Telavi fans got no joy from their last match, a Erovnuli Liga 2 game also here at Stadioni Givi Chokheli: A 1-2 defeat against Samtredia. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Tskhinvali in a game that was won 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Telavi have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won 0 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.

A decent goal production from Telavi in their home games so far, with 22 goals from 12 matches. From these home matches, Telavi have conceded only 7 goals.

Samtredia form and stats

The visitors are W5-D2-L4 on the road this term. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Telavi. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Samtredia are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Samtredia play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Telavi. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Shevardeni 1906.

Samtredia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of one match.

Samtredia have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, 11 away games. As opposed to that, Samtredia have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Telavi - Samtredia 1-2. Telavi-Samtredia H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Telavi 0 wins, Samtredia 2 wins, 1 draw. 2 of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
