The Pfl league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Legion Dynamo and Anzhi are placed 4th and 3rd respectively.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Legion and Anzhi.
Legion Dynamo form and stats
The hosts won their first Pfl game here, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Legion Dynamo last season were 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses from 10 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Legion, as their goalkeeper Alil Magomedov has completely shut out the opponents for 345 minutes in the Pfl.
Legion Dynamo's last game was hosting Anzhi (placed 3rd) and winning 1-0. Before that, Legion played out a Pfl draw 0-0 when visiting Spartak Nal'chik.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. Izbulatov when R. Shikhaev scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Legion Dynamo at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Anzhi form and stats
Only one away game in the Pfl so far for Anzhi and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 0 victories, 3 draws and 8 losses from 11 travels.
There might be some fixture complaints from Anzhi as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Russian Cup match against Legion Dynamo (0-1). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against SKA Rostov in the Pfl.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Krasnodar 3 in just four days.
It's early days yet, but Anzhi has scored 4 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Legion Dynamo two wins, zero draws and Anzhi zero victories. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
