Both the home- and away side have had some difficulties so far, but a win in this important match would definitely help. Let's hear it for Metallurg Lipetsk - Tekstilshchik!
- Metallurg Lipetsk have the most conceded goals (35) in FNL
- Tekstilshchik have yet to win a game away.
Metallurg Lipetsk and Tekstilshchik 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Tekstilshchik have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-6-21 (win-draw-loss) from 33 matches.
Metallurg Lipetsk form and stats
With 1 FNL win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Metallurg Lipetsk are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Stadion Metallurg, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Akron game.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 182 minutes without scoring a league goal. A. Arustamyan was the last player to find the net.
No payout for Metallurg in their previous match, an away game at Alaniya Vladikavkaz that ended in defeat 0-5. As you see from the result above, Metallurg suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Spartak Moskva II (0-2).There will be little rest for Metallurg after this match as they are travelling to Dolgie Prudy for a FNL game in only three days.
Metallurg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Metallurg defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Tekstilshchik form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tekstilshchik so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-3 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Tekstilshchik have lost on their last two travels.
Tekstilshchik might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Volgar Astrakhan proved too strong as Tekstilshchik slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Tekstilshchik.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against SKA Khabarovsk.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Baltika in just three days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Tekstilshchik's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 6 matches. Tekstilshchik have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
