Khimki 2 form and stats

There's been little loot from Khimki 2's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Pfl. Khimki 2, who have the most conceded goals (30) away in Pfl, only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 0 draws. A depressing five defeats in a row for Khimki 2 in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Fakel II.

Khimki 2 might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Salyut Belgorod proved too strong as Khimki slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Novye Khimki. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Krasnyy-SGAFKST wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Khimki have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. There are big problems for the Khimki defense as they have conceded 30 goals in 8 away games.
