The visiting Novosibirsk side should be favourites in this visit to Zenit Izhevsk, as the away team holds a 36 point advantage from their 19 league games this season.
- Zenit Izhevsk have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Pfl
- Novosibirsk is in the best form (5-1-0)
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.
Zenit Izhevsk form and stats
With 2 Pfl wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Zenit Izhevsk are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.
The fans are hoping that Izhevsk will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Pfl game against Tyumen (placed 2nd). Prior to that, an away loss at Chelyabinsk.
The Izhevsk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Izhevsk have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Novosibirsk form and stats
Novosibirsk, who have the most points (24) away in Pfl, have an excellent away record in the Pfl so far with 7-3-0 from 10 games.
Before that, Novosibirsk secured a home win against Volga Ulyanovsk with the score 3-1.
Novosibirsk have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 24 goals from 10 away matches. Novosibirsk are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 5 away goals have been conceded so far.
