Zugdidi hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 31 points and a 9th position in the Erovnuli Liga 2 table. Visiting Shukura holds 5th place with 42 pts.

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.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Shukura's home stadium. The visitors last 19 games on grass have ended in 4 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses.

Zugdidi are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Shukura most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
