Competition: Russia Pfl
Date: Sat 02.November
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Torpedo Stadium (19700 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Torpedo Vladimir are in the 5th position while the guests worry at 12th.

It's no vacation for neither Torpedo Vladimir nor Luki-Energiya as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Luki-Energiya have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-3-2 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.

Torpedo Vladimir form and stats

Torpedo Vladimir are steadily winning Pfl games and points here at Torpedo Stadium. 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games. Two home wins in a row for Torpedo Vladimir bring valid hopes of a third.

Torpedo Vladimir's previous game was a Pfl match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Luki-Energiya (placed 12th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Zenit II the opponent.

Luki-Energiya form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Luki-Energiya, who have the most conceded goals (19) away in Pfl, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Luki-Energiya who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Rodina Moskva was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Luki-Energiya are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Luki-Energiya, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Torpedo Vladimir (placed 5th). A loss against Dolgie Prudy was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Luki-Energiya as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. The Luki-Energiya manager S. Osadchuk has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
