Orenburg form and stats

Last season, Orenburg's league statistics were 28 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the FNL. Over these 42 matches they scored 78 goals and conceded 33. Playing at home last season Orenburg managed 14-5-2 (win-draw-lost) with 42 goals and 18 conceded. Orenburg have only played one FNL game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 14 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats from 21 matches.

A nice win for Orenburg last time playing, versus Volgar Astrakhan. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with A. Mironov (2), K. Kaplenko and A. Ektov scoring for the victors. As mentioned above, Orenburg "killed" Volgar Astrakhan in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. The 4-0 win against Volgar Astrakhan was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Dinamo Bryansk in a game that was won 3-2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Orenburg at home in the league. 4 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
