Baltika form and stats

Baltika are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two games. Baltika has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager E. Kaleshin and the players. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Baltika, their manager E. Kaleshin and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Baltika crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Chayka here at Stadion Kaliningrad in a FNL match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Torpedo Moskva.

This is expected to be a close game, with Baltika perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Baltika as a small favourite), we find nine games. Baltika has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.

Early season goal statistics from Baltika's 2 home games: 0 goals, 2 conceded.
