Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Stadion Nizhny Novgorod clash with Sibir, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the FNL table.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has grass, which is not Sibir's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Sibir have performed like this: Played 31 matches resulting in 6 wins, 13 draws and 12 defeats with the goal stats 23-36 (scored/conceded). It's quite the trip for Sibir when visiting Olimpiyets as the cities are 2900 kilometers apart.

Sibir form and stats

There's been little loot from Sibir's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 17 away games. Sibir, who have the most conceded goals (30) away in FNL, only has 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 7 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Sibir have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Fakel game.

The supporters enjoyed Sibir's previous game versus Tom' Tomsk, a FNL 1-0 win played at home. A 1-1 draw at Baltika's stadium before that.
