This is shaping out to be an interesting fixture as Baltika have their supposed home advantage, while Veles have an edge of 3 points in the FNL standings.
- Baltika have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.
- Veles haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Baltika form and stats
Baltika have played 8 FNL games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-6-1 (wins-draws-losses).
It's back home for Baltika, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Metallurg Lipetsk away with the result 4-0. D. Klenkin, I. Alshin and I. Geloyan found the net in that victory. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Baltika played a great game against Metallurg Lipetsk and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Volgar Astrakhan (0-2).The match schedule is unforgiving for Baltika as they have a new game in only four days, a Russian Cup match thankfully also at home. Khimki are visiting.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Baltika here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 8 games). Baltika are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Veles form and stats
4 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Veles playing as the away team in the FNL this season.
Home advantage was not enough for Veles in their previous game, as they lost their FNL-match, hosting Torpedo Moskva, 3-5. An insane game with heaps of goals last time out for Veles, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that match, will this fixture be as full of joy?
A 0-1 defeat away at Metallurg Lipetsk before that.After this away game Veles return home for a Russian Cup game against Arsenal Tula. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Veles when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
