An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 7th and the visitors in 8th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Meshakhte 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 0-1-5 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
Borjomi can neither be promoted or relegated from Liga 3. Meshakhte is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Borjomi form and stats
The story so far in the Liga 3 for Borjomi, who have the fewest scored goals (24) in Liga 3, at their home stadium is 7 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Bakhmaro game. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Borjomi to get some points in this home game.
The Borjomi crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Meshakhte here in a Liga 3 match. Heartbreak before that as Borjomi lost 0-1 at Aragvi Dusheti's place.
The Borjomi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. Borjomi have conceded 22 in these home matches.
Meshakhte form and stats
There's been little loot from Meshakhte's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 16 away games in the Liga 3. Meshakhte only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Meshakhte love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Meshakhte play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Borjomi (placed 7th). A draw for Meshakhte before that, at their own venue hosting Betlemi (1-1).
Meshakhte find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 19 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. The Meshakhte manager M. Babukhadia has some worries about the defense as 33 goals have been conceded in these travels.
