The Avangard Kursk manager I. Belyaev attacks this game with the team placed 12th so far. In the visitors dressing room Sakhalin and their manager O. Sidorenkov are in 16th place before this match.
Avangard Kursk and Sakhalin should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sakhalin have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Avangard Kursk form and stats
Only two Pfl home games for Avangard Kursk so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
A nice win for Avangard last time playing, versus Khimki 2. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with A. Voynov and I. Podolyak scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kvant (1-2).
Avangard Kursk has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Sakhalin form and stats
Sakhalin, who have the most conceded goals (12) in Pfl, are still without points from their Pfl away games. 4 games, 4 defeats. With the Sakhalin losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bitter travels for Sakhalin as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Khimki 2 match.
The attacking players of Sakhalin have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 362 minutes.
Sakhalin lost away at Sokol Saratov (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Metallurg Vidnoye wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Sakhalin lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Goals are few and far between in Sakhalin's away league games. Only 0 goals from 4 travels. The Sakhalin defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 12 goals in their away games.
