The season is still fairly new and the FNL table has to be read with caution. So far Olimpiyets find themselves in 15th position and Shinnik are placed 1st.

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 Olimpiyets and Shinnik.

Olimpiyets form and stats

Olimpiyets are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two games. Game days at Stadion Nizhny Novgorod have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Olimpiyets as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Olimpiyets's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Shinnik. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Neftekhimik the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Olimpiyets have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 0 times, drawn 1 and lost 5.

At Stadion Nizhny Novgorod, Olimpiyets has the goal stats of 1-5 (for/against) from 2 fixtures.

Shinnik form and stats

Shinnik are on a winning streak after three away games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels. Shinnik love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

It's the second away game in a row for Shinnik, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Olimpiyets in the FNL last time out. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Mordovia Saransk.

Shinnik are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

5 goals so far away for Shinnik, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head
