Ryazan - Sakhalin. 3rd place against 14th place. Nothing is certain - get a full match preview here!

Insights:
  • Ryazan have the most scored goals in the first half (26) in Pfl
  • Sakhalin have yet to win a game away.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Sakhalin when visiting Ryazan as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

The season is still full of potential for Ryazan as they can still win the whole Pfl. Sakhalin are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Ryazan form and stats

28 points is a decent return from 13 Pfl games here for Ryazan. The data says 9 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here.

The fans are hoping that Ryazan will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 3-4 away loss in the Pfl game against Khimki 2 (placed 12th). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Prior to that, an away loss at Metallurg Lipetsk.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ryazan as they are travelling to their away game against Metallurg Vidnoye in the Pfl. That match is four days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 13 games), Ryazan's attacking play is working. Ryazan are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 13 matches.

Sakhalin form and stats

Sakhalin have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Pfl, after 0-3-11 (14 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Sakhalin, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 3-4 versus Krasnyy-SGAFKST (placed 8th). A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Sakhalin, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Fakel II that ended 0-0.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Khimik Novomoskovsk in just four days.

Goals are few and far between in Sakhalin's away league games. Only 6 goals from 14 travels. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Sakhalin manager O. Sidorenkov has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Sakhalin - Ryazan 1-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
