The Orenburg manager I. Aytkulov attacks this game with the team placed 2nd so far. In the visitors dressing room Volgar Astrakhan and their manager V. Panov are in 20th place before this match.
It's no vacation for neither Orenburg nor Volgar Astrakhan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Volgar Astrakhan have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Orenburg form and stats
Seven points from three FNL home games is a great start for Orenburg, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stadion Gazovik.
Orenburg's last game was hosting Spartak Vladikavkaz (placed 17th) and winning 2-1. In the game before, an away victory in the FNL match versus Krylya Sovetov with a 1-0 scoreline.
Orenburg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Orenburg have only let in 1 goal at home.
Volgar Astrakhan form and stats
No FNL points yet away for Volgar Astrakhan, from their first 3 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Astrakhan who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Krasnodar II was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Astrakhan's last three away games as they have all been lost.
It was a FNL defeat before that one as the away game against Chayka wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Astrakhan were so close to getting something from the game against Yenisey, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.
Goals are few and far between in Volgar Astrakhan's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. Astrakhan struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: three - zero - one (Orenburg wins - draws - Volgar Astrakhan wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
