Zugdidi form and stats

Zugdidi's struggle is real here with only 3 points collected from 6 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 1-0-5. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Zugdidi with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Tskhinvali game, 45 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Zugdidi lost their last game at Norchi Dinamo after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Gagra with the scoreline 1-2.

Zugdidi have scored 4 goals here in 6 matches, not a lot. Zugdidi are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 6 played).
