Season ticket holders at Stadion Dinamo haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Luch Vladivostok languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Baltika will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Luch Vladivostok form and stats

Luch Vladivostok's struggle is real here at Stadion Dinamo with only 11 points collected from 14 FNL games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-5-7. Luch Vladivostok are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion Dinamo with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Fakel match.

The fans are hoping that Luch Vladivostok will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the FNL game against Fakel (placed 20th). 1-1 away at Chayka before that.
