The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Kaluga are in the 9th position while the guests worry at 12th.
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!
It's quite the trip for Khimki 2 when visiting Kaluga as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.
Kaluga form and stats
The story so far in the Pfl for Kaluga at their home stadium is 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
A good away victory last time out for Kaluga, who won 1-0 against Khimik Novomoskovsk (placed 4th). Before that, Kaluga had a home game versus Strogino which ended with a victory 2-0.
Kaluga have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 11 goals in 7 league matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Khimki 2 form and stats
Khimki 2 have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Pfl, after 1-2-5 (8 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Khimki 2's last three away games as they have all been lost.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Pfl home defeat versus Metallurg Lipetsk with 1-3 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ryazan wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Khimki 2 as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Khimki 2 have conceded 14 goals in these games.
