Sakhalin are welcoming Znamya Noginsk for another important game after their 5-1 result against 16th-placed Fakel II.
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!
Sakhalin form and stats
Sakhalin have only played one Pfl game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 5 matches.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kaluga (1-3).
As mentioned above, Sakhalin "killed" Fakel II in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sakhalin perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sakhalin as a small favourite), we find one game. Sakhalin has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sakhalin at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Znamya Noginsk form and stats
1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Znamya Noginsk playing as the away team in the Pfl this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Znamya Noginsk, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Khimki 2 (placed 10th) in the Pfl last time out. A loss against Akhmat Grozny was the result prior to that, in a Russian Cup home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Znamya Noginsk playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Znamya Noginsk win, one draw and one defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Shinnik in just four days.
Znamya Noginsk has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 6 goals from 4 games. Noginsk struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 6 goals conceded from these games.
