An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 5th and the visitors in 6th place.
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!
Novosibirsk form and stats
Novosibirsk, who have the most conceded goals (14) in Pfl, have played 3 Pfl games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager I. Chugainov led his Novosibirsk to a defeat in the Pfl match away at Sakhalin. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Before that, Novosibirsk drew at home versus Dinamo Barnaul.
Novosibirsk are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found one match and the win/draw/lost stats: W0-D1-L0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Novosibirsk as they have a new game in only three days, a Pfl match thankfully also at home. Chita are visiting.
The Novosibirsk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Novosibirsk's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Zenit Irkutsk form and stats
No Pfl points yet away for Zenit Irkutsk, from their first 3 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Zenit Irkutsk who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Novosibirsk was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Zenit Irkutsk are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Pfl home defeat versus Irtysh with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 loss hosting Dinamo Barnaul before that.
You'll want to know how Zenit Irkutsk managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found one similar match resulting in 0 away wins, 0 draws and 1 home win.
