Another action-packed fixture in FNL as Khimki welcome Yenisey

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Khimki and Yenisey.

It's quite the trip for Yenisey when visiting Khimki as the cities are 4100 kilometers apart.

Khimki form and stats

Perfect season at home so far for Khimki, as mentioned below. 2 wins from 2 appearances. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Khimki after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Khimki's previous game was a FNL match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Yenisey. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the preceding match a 4-1 victory visiting Tekstilshchik.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Khimki matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from four games).

Khimki has scored 7 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games.

Yenisey form and stats

Yenisey are doing rather OK so far in their away games, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Recent form does not give Yenisey much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Khimki will be a tough nut to crack. Yenisey seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It might be tough going out on the road again for Yenisey, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Khimki. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Rotor Volgograd.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Yenisey when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing 3 times, drawing 0 and winning 0 games.

The attacking power of Yenisey when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored in 3 matches. For Yenisey, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
