Fakel form and stats

There's been little loot from Fakel's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 11 away games in the FNL. Fakel, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in FNL, only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. Three has not been a lucky number for Fakel as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Chayka match. Fakel seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a FNL home defeat versus SKA Khabarovsk with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Fakel manager V. Beschastnikh faced defeat when travelling to Baltika and losing 0-3.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fakel as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. The Fakel manager V. Beschastnikh has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
