Only a few games have been played in the Pfl so far, with Avangard Kursk placed 13th and Khimki 2 sitting in the 11th position.
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!
1-2-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Khimki 2 when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those seven matches are 6-10 (scored/conceded).
Avangard Kursk form and stats
The first Pfl game here at Stadion Trudovye Reservy resulted in a draw. Last season Avangard Kursk's home game statistics were 4 victories, 7 draws and 3 defeats from 14 games. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Stadion Trudovye Reservy, but a victory now would be sweet for Avangard Kursk.
Avangard are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Kvant.
Avangard Kursk has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Khimki 2 form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Pfl ended in defeat. Last season Khimki 2 had these away match statistics: Played 9; won 2, drew 2 and lost 5.
Khimki 2 might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sokol Saratov proved too strong as Khimki 2 slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Novye Khimki. A 0-3 defeat away at Metallurg Vidnoye before that.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Khimki 2 has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 1 match.
