Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion Nizhny Novgorod (17800 seats)

Only a few games have been played in the FNL so far, with Olimpiyets placed 9th and Spartak Vladikavkaz sitting in the 19th position.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Olimpiyets form and stats

Olimpiyets must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three FNL games here at Stadion Nizhny Novgorod.

N. Kakkoev was the last player to score a league goal for Olimpiyets and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Olimpiyets haven't scored in 202 minutes.

The Olimpiyets crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Neftekhimik here at Stadion Nizhny Novgorod in a FNL match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Dinamo Bryansk (0-1).

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 nine games) they have won one time, drawn three and lost five.

Olimpiyets are traveling soon after this match as the Russian Cup match at Tom' Tomsk awaits in three days.

The Olimpiyets fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Olimpiyets have only let in 1 goal at home.

Spartak Vladikavkaz form and stats

Things could have gone better for Spartak Vladikavkaz in their FNL away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Spartak Vladikavkaz has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Vladikavkaz lost away at Yenisey (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 0-2 defeat away at Orenburg before that.

Vladikavkaz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of three matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Russian Cup trip to Orenburg.

Vladikavkaz has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Spartak Vladikavkaz have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
