Competition: Wed 09.September
Match begins: 22:00 (UTC)

The visiting Torpedo Moskva side should be favourites in this visit to Irtysh, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their seven league games this season.

Irtysh have less rest than Torpedo Moskva in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a FNL game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Neftekhimik, so at least Irtysh are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

10-4-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Torpedo Moskva when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 19 matches are 28-19 (scored/conceded).

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2600 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. With Irtysh having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager V. Arays. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Irtysh to get some points in this home game.

Irtysh are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 334 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Rukas).

In their previous game, the manager V. Arays led his Irtysh to a defeat in the FNL match away at Neftekhimik. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Dinamo Bryansk (0-1).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Irtysh here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Irtysh having conceded 9 goals here so far. Irtysh's defense is seriously deficient as 9 goals have been conceded in these matches.

Torpedo Moskva form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (15) in FNL, on their FNL travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. It’s been three wins in a row for Torpedo Moskva on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Torpedo play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting SKA Khabarovsk (placed 9th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Veles at their stadium, the result 5-0.

What a finish in the last match, as Torpedo came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through V. Adaev's goal in the 90th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against SKA Khabarovsk was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Torpedo are a potent attacking force on the road with their 13 goals in 5 league games. Torpedo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
