Insights:
  • Strogino have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Avangard Kursk have the fewest scored goals in the first half (6) in Pfl

Strogino and Avangard Kursk should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Avangard Kursk have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.

Strogino are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Avangard are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
