FNL match preview: Armavir versus Khimki

Competition: Russia FNL
Date: Sat 13.April
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion Junost' (5700 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the FNL, Armavir holding 17th place and Khimki lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Armavir and Khimki should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

It's quite the trip for Khimki when visiting Armavir as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.

Armavir form and stats

With 2 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Armavir are certainly not brimming with confidence. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Armavir has four draws from their last four matches. So many draws at home for Armavir, an amazing four in a row now.

The home team returns to Stadion Junost' after sharing the points with Fakel on their last time out; the FNL game ended 0-0. Before that, Armavir drew at home versus Spartak Moskva II.

This is expected to be a close game, with Armavir perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Armavir as a small favourite), we find three games. Armavir has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

The Armavir fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. Armavir have conceded 19 in these home matches.
