A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Salyut Belgorod fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Metallurg Vidnoye's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
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!
Salyut Belgorod form and stats
3-2-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Pfl numbers at home for Salyut Belgorod, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Pfl, so far this season.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Artem Tsygulev not having conceded a league goal in 540 minutes.
Happy days for Belgorod in their previous game, a Pfl match away at Sakhalin (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Preceding that match was the home Russian Cup game against Tekstilshchik that was lost 0-3.
Belgorod can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 11 times. As for guarding their own goal, Belgorod have only let in 1 goal at home.
Metallurg Vidnoye form and stats
No Pfl points yet away for Metallurg Vidnoye, from their first 3 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Metallurg who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Sakhalin was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Metallurg Vidnoye's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Metallurg Vidnoye might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Znamya Noginsk proved too strong as Metallurg slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Metallurg struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
