Torpedo Moskva form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Sportivnyj gorodok Luzhniki as Torpedo Moskva have scored 18 goals to get 14 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the FNL are 4-2-0 (wins-draws-losses).

The spoils were shared in Torpedo's previous game, also at home. Visiting Fakel (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Fakel as M. Sultonov's goal in the 87th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Baltika that finished 1-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Torpedo as they have a new game in only three days, a FNL match thankfully also at home. Orenburg are visiting.

Torpedo Moskva are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Sportivnyj gorodok Luzhniki in their league games, having scored an impressive 18 goals in 6 matches. Torpedo are not conceding a lot of goals here at Sportivnyj gorodok Luzhniki in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.

Tom' Tomsk form and stats

There's been little loot from Tom' Tomsk's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the FNL. Tom' Tomsk only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. Tom' Tomsk has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Tom' Tomsk lost away at Krasnodar II (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

Prior to that match, the Tomsk manager S. Zhukov faced defeat when travelling to KAMAZ and losing 1-2.

The schedule is very tough for Tom' Tomsk now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A FNL game at Yenisey is waiting in only three days.

The attacking power of Tomsk when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Tomsk have conceded 10 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: three - two - three (Torpedo Moskva wins - draws - Tom' Tomsk wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
