Inter Cherkessk form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Pfl this season. Inter Cherkessk, who have the fewest scored goals (16) in Pfl, have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Cherkessk with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Makhachkala game, 127 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
No payout for Inter Cherkessk in their previous match, an away game at Forte Taganrog that ended in defeat 0-4. Preceding that match was a defeat to Mashuk-KMV (1-2).
Cherkessk were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Cherkessk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Cherkessk have conceded 20 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Druzhba form and stats
Druzhba have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Pfl, after 2-1-6 (9 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Druzhba who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Essentuki was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Druzhba's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Druzhba are looking to quickly end their 270 minutes long goal drought in the Pfl.
Druzhba failed to get anything from their last game, a Pfl home match vs Urozhay (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-2. Preceding that game, the 0-6 loss visiting Makhachkala's place.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Druzhba are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 7 goals in these matches. It's worth mentioning that 12 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
