The overall stats in the FNL are 13-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Olimpiyets, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Olimpiyets, as their goalkeeper Artur Anisimov has completely shut out the opponents for 228 minutes in the FNL.

It's back home for Olimpiyets, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating SKA Khabarovsk away with the result 1-0. T. Suleymanov found the net in that victory. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Veles.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. Evdokimov when T. Suleymanov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute.

The Olimpiyets fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 31 goals in 18 league matches.

The attacking players of Chayka have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 278 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Chayka in their previous game, as they lost their FNL-match, hosting Yenisey, 0-1. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Orenburg's place.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Chayka have scored 21 goals in 18 league games away.
