Struggling Luki-Energiya will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Veles in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Luki-Energiya form and stats
Luki-Energiya have collected 8 points from their Pfl home games so far after 2-2-3. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Luki-Energiya with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Rodina Moskva game, 47 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Luki-Energiya as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Luki-Energiya lost their last game at Torpedo Vladimir (placed 3rd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Dolgie Prudy that was lost 0-2.
The Luki-Energiya fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Luki-Energiya have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Veles form and stats
The away team, who have the most scored goals (34) in Pfl, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Pfl. Things are running smoothly for Veles who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Rodina Moskva. It’s been three wins in a row for Veles on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
The supporters enjoyed Veles's previous game versus Zenit II (placed 4th), a Pfl 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Zvezda Sint Petersburg at their stadium, the result 3-0.
Veles has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 14 goals from 8 games. As opposed to that, Veles have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
