Akron form and stats

Akron have played 16 FNL games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-5-6 (wins-draws-losses). With eight home FNL games in a row without a win, the Akron fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Tekstilshchik game long ago, can be stopped today.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Akron, as their goalkeeper Sergei Volkov has completely shut out the opponents for 398 minutes in the FNL.

Akron drew their last game, also a home match. Tom' Tomsk (placed 19th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. A strong away win before that one, visiting Chertanovo and winning 1-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Akron as they have a new game in only four days, a FNL match thankfully also at home. Dinamo Bryansk are visiting.

Akron aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Kristall Zhigulyovsk in the league, with only 15 goals from 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Akron have conceded 17 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Irtysh form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Irtysh so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-8 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Irtysh in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Spartak Moskva II.

Irtysh aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 193 league minutes without a goal. I. Viznovich was the last player to find the net.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Irtysh, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Torpedo Moskva (placed 5th). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Shinnik.

The schedule is very tough for Irtysh now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A FNL game at Krasnodar II is waiting in only four days.

Irtysh find the net regularly in their away games. 17 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Irtysh have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
