This match features two teams living in the basement of the FNL, Fakel holding 16th place and Armavir lying 17th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Fakel and Armavir 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 Armavir when visiting Fakel as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Fakel form and stats

When playing at home, Fakel have managed 5 wins, 6 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 14 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The fans are hoping that Fakel will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the FNL game against Olimpiyets. In the match before that, Fakel hosted Baltika and drew the game 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Fakel perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fakel as a small favourite), we find six games. Fakel has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The Fakel fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. Fakel are not conceding a lot of goals here at Central'nyi Stadion Profsoyuzov, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 14 matches.

Armavir form and stats

There's been little loot from Armavir's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 15 away games. Armavir only has 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. With three draws in a row for Armavir the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

There were no winners in Armavir's previous match, a FNL home game that ended 0-0 vs Spartak Moskva II. A 0-0 draw at Shinnik's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 19 similar matches played by Armavir in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Armavir, 4 draws and 9 defeats.
