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!
1-2-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Avangard Kursk when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those seven matches are 4-8 (scored/conceded).
Khimki 2 form and stats
5 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. That’s what Khimki 2 have to build on here at Stadion Novye Khimki in the Pfl. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Khimki 2 with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Metallurg Vidnoye game, 33 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Khimki, their manager I. Yushchenko and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Khimki crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Metallurg Lipetsk here at Stadion Novye Khimki in a Pfl match. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Strogino.
Khimki are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. Khimki 2 have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Avangard Kursk form and stats
There's been little loot from Avangard Kursk's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Pfl. Avangard Kursk only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
Avangard Kursk have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 292 minutes ago. A. Myazin was the goal scorer.
There were no winners in Avangard's previous match, a Pfl home game that ended 0-0 vs Fakel II (placed 16th). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Kaluga's place.
The attacking power of Avangard when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Avangard struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 17 goals conceded from these games.
