Tskhinvali form and stats

As the visiting team Tskhinvali have produced an overall stat of 3-3-5 so far. Recent form does not give Tskhinvali much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row.

Two away games in a row for Tskhinvali, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Telavi in the Erovnuli Liga 2. A loss against Norchi Dinamo was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The attacking power of Tskhinvali when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored in 11 matches. As opposed to that, Tskhinvali have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
