Borjomi are huge odds-on favourites to win home game vs Betlemi

It's no vacation for neither Borjomi nor Betlemi as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Betlemi have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-6 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.

Borjomi form and stats

Borjomi are steadily winning games and points here at Stadioni Jemal Zeinklishvili. 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 8 games. Borjomi are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

Borjomi's previous game was a Liga 3 match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Betlemi. The home side are looking to build on that result. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Bakhmaro.

Borjomi are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Stadioni Jemal Zeinklishvili with maximum points. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 49 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Borjomi has won 30 times, drawn 8 and lost 11. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Borjomi has won by at least two goals 16 times when in this position.

The Borjomi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. Borjomi are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadioni Jemal Zeinklishvili, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 8 matches.

Betlemi form and stats

There's been little loot from Betlemi's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games. Betlemi, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Liga 3, only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Betlemi who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Kolkheti Khobi was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Betlemi are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Betlemi play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Borjomi. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Gori.

Nobody expects Betlemi to collect points from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 49 times before, with the overall statistics of won 12, draw 7 and lost 30. When defeated, 20 matches have been lost by two or more goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Betlemi as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Betlemi have conceded 14 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
