Competition: Russia FNL
Date: Sat 13.April
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Complexe Sportif Jean Bianchi 1 (2500 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 20th place.

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!

This pitch has grass, which is not Zenit II's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Zenit II have performed like this: Played 17 matches resulting in 5 wins, 2 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 12-22 (scored/conceded). Zenit II have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Baltika form and stats

Baltika have collected 23 points from their home games so far after 7-2-5. Baltika has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Complexe Sportif Jean Bianchi 1. We remember; it was Luch Vladivostok.

Baltika lost their last game at Rotor Volgograd after a 0-1 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Khimki in a game that was won 2-1.

The Baltika fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. Baltika's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
