Season ticket holders at Poladi Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Tskhinvali languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Gagra will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
