It's been rough for Zenit Izhevsk so far, and I guess you could say the same about Lada SOK. The strugglers have a chance for some much needed points here.
- Zenit Izhevsk have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Pfl
- Lada SOK have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Izhevsk are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Lada are struggling to avoid relegation.
Zenit Izhevsk form and stats
When playing at home in the Pfl, Zenit Izhevsk have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 5 defeats from 10 games. Two home wins in a row for Izhevsk bring valid hopes of a third.
It's back home for Zenit Izhevsk, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Lada Tolyatti away with the result 5-1. M. Kabakov, E. Shanin, E. Shiryaev and D. Sobolev (2) found the net in that victory. As mentioned above, Zenit Izhevsk "killed" Lada Tolyatti in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Ahead of that match, Izhevsk won a home game hosting Orenburg II (6-0).Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Zvezda Perm are coming to town in two days.
Zenit Izhevsk have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 18 goals in 10 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Izhevsk have conceded 11 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Lada SOK form and stats
There's been little loot from Lada SOK's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Pfl. Lada SOK only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in Lada as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Pfl home defeat versus KAMAZ with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Lada SOK did not look prepared in the first half against KAMAZ and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
A 2-3 loss hosting Volna Kovernino before that.The travelling fans enjoy Lada SOK's attacking play in away games, having scored 19 goals in 11 league matches away. 16 goals have been conceded by Lada SOK in these games.
