The home team ticketholders await a win and three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use against a stumbling visitor. Veles are in 10th spot while the guesting Urozhay stress at 17th.
- Veles have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Veles form and stats
4-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the FNL numbers at home for Veles so far this season. It's trouble wherever Veles are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Veles are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 205 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by D. Yezhkov).
The Veles fans got no joy from their last match, a FNL game also here: A 0-4 defeat against Fakel (placed 3rd). As you see from the result above, Veles suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Arsenal Tula (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) that ended 1-1.Veles have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 15 goals in 10 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Veles defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Urozhay form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their FNL travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. The fact that Urozhay have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
Urozhay go into this game after a win, the home game against Yenisey that ended 2-1.
That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Krasnodar in the Russian Cup.Urozhay have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 12 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Urozhay have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.
