The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Makhachkala are in the 10th position while the guesting Druzhba worry at 14th.
- Makhachkala have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Druzhba have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Makhachkala form and stats
4 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Makhachkala have to build on here in the Pfl.
Makhachkala travelled for their previous game, a trip to Forte Taganrog that ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Makhachkala won a home game hosting Tuapse (3-1).
A decent goal production from Makhachkala in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Druzhba form and stats
Druzhba have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Pfl, after 2-1-5 (8 played). With the Druzhba losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Druzhba are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Druzhba failed to get anything from their last game, a Pfl home match vs Dinamo Stavropol' (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 0-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Spartak Nal'chik wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
The attacking power of Druzhba when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Druzhba have conceded 18 goals in these games.
