There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Pfl table so far. Here's the SKA Rostov - Makhachkala latest:
SKA Rostov form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Pfl this season. SKA Rostov have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadion SKA SKVO. SKA Rostov are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadion SKA SKVO, having lost their two previous games here.
SKA Rostov are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Fakel.
The SKA Rostov fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. SKA Rostov have conceded 15 from these games.
Makhachkala form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Makhachkala so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Agalarov, the Makhachkala manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Impressive finishing from A. Gazimagomedov and R. Isaev secured the home win 2-1 against Biolog in their previous game. A 2-5 defeat away at Urozhay before that.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Makhachkala as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. Makhachkala's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Makhachkala - SKA Rostov 1-0 earlier this season.Top Goalscorers
