This game features two squads living in the cellar of the Pfl, Essentuki at 17th place and Tuapse lying 14th. A nice chance for one of the squads to boost their situation.
- Essentuki have the fewest scored goals (7) in Pfl
- Tuapse 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
With 1 Pfl win, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Essentuki are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Essentuki with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Alaniya Vladikavkaz II game, 32 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 309 minutes without scoring a league goal. K. Batsev was the last player to find the net.
Essentuki lost their last game at Rotor-2 (placed 13th) after a 0-6 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.
