Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Irtysh languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Spartak Vladikavkaz will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Irtysh form and stats
Irtysh have played three FNL home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Irtysh as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts. Irtysh has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager V. Arays and the players.
Irtysh haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 334 minutes ago. A. Rukas scored that one.
Irtysh faced defeat in their previous match, away at Neftekhimik (0-1). Heartbreak before that as Irtysh lost 0-1 at Dinamo Bryansk's place.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Irtysh as they have a new game in only one day, a FNL match thankfully also at home. Torpedo Moskva are visiting.
Irtysh have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Irtysh have allowed the opposition to score 9 goals here. Irtysh's defense is seriously deficient as 9 goals have been conceded in these matches.
Spartak Vladikavkaz form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Spartak Vladikavkaz playing as the away team in the FNL this season. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Vladikavkaz, as they have won on their previous two travels.
The Vladikavkaz goalkeeper Rostislav Soldatenko is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Two travels in a row for Vladikavkaz, whose manager S. Gogniev could celebrate last time after the FNL win against Tom' Tomsk. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Chertanovo at their stadium, the result 3-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Vladikavkaz are hosting Volgar Astrakhan in the FNL only one days away.
Spartak Vladikavkaz has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games. 6 goals have been conceded by Spartak Vladikavkaz in these games.
