Another interesting game in the Pfl. Tver is in the 3rd position after playing two matches. They welcome Smolensk who are placed 8th after one games.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Tver form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Tver's two home games in the Pfl so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadion Khimik, Tver'.
Tver's previous game was a Pfl match also played at home, ending 4-2 versus Chita (placed 16th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Tver drew at home versus Zenit Irkutsk.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? What a game it was for Y. Ivakin when beating Chita, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
Early season league goal statistics from Tver's 2 home games: 5 goals, 3 conceded.
Smolensk form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Pfl travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
Smolensk has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Zenit II for a Pfl game that ended a draw (1-1).
It's early days yet, but Smolensk has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
