An important duel in the bottom section of the Pfl, with both Sakhalin and Strogino experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 12th place.
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 should be mentioned that Strogino play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Strogino on grass are 1 victory, 2 draws and 7 defeats from ten games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 8-22. You can compare this with overall results below.
These teams have little in common geographically as Strogino have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
