Venue: Stadion Lokomotiv (15000 seats)

With the anxious opening fixture out of the way it’s time for the second FNL battle of the season. Sokol Saratov are eager to welcome Shinnik in front of their home fans.

These teams have little in common geographically as Shinnik have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Shinnik form and stats

Let's have a look at how Shinnik performed last season in the FNL: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 7 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 36 and conceded {41 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 2 and lost 12 with 13/30 goals scored/conceded. The visitors' first away game in the FNL ended in defeat. Last season Shinnik had these away match statistics: Played 17; won 3, drew 2 and lost 12.

Shinnik have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 187 minutes ago. Kulishev was the goal scorer.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Shinnik, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus SKA Khabarovsk (placed 3rd).

A 0-4 defeat away at Krasnodar II before that.

{0 goals} so far away for Shinnik, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - one - one (Saratov wins - draws - Shinnik wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
