Baltika form and stats

Three home games done for Baltika, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. With Baltika having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager E. Kaleshin.

Baltika's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Chertanovo. Before that match, a win away at Fakel.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Baltika have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 1 Lost 5.

The lack of attacking qualities in Baltika means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 home games, less than half a goal per match. Baltika's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Chertanovo form and stats

The seven points Chertanovo have gathered from their first three away trips is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

Two travels in a row for Chertanovo, whose manager I. Osinkin could celebrate last time after the FNL win against Baltika. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Rotor Volgograd.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chertanovo playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 4 Chertanovo wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats.

Chertanovo find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures. Chertanovo's manager I. Osinkin has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
