Druzhba have rested up after their 0-1-match against Chernomorets and are eager to face Essentuki. Here's all you need to know!
- Essentuki have the most conceded goals (26) in Pfl
- Druzhba have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
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.
Essentuki form and stats
Essentuki have played three Pfl home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Essentuki are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Essentuki lost their last game at Anzhi (placed 1st) after a 0-5 scoreline. Essentuki were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Chayka (1-9).The manager V. Zazdravnykh will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Alaniya Vladikavkaz II in only four days.
Essentuki has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Essentuki's defense is seriously deficient as 16 goals have been conceded in these matches.
Druzhba form and stats
Things could have gone better for Druzhba in their Pfl away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
The manager A. Shakov was unhappy after their last game, a Pfl match played at their home ground Stadion Druzhba (Junost'). Druzhba suffered a 0-1 loss to Chernomorets (placed 10th).
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Dinamo Stavropol'.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Biolog in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Druzhba as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. For Druzhba, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Essentuki wins - draws - Druzhba wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.Top Goalscorers
