Zenit Izhevsk have struggled for points this season. Could they get something when Volga Ulyanovsk comes to visit?
- Zenit Izhevsk have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Pfl
- Volga Ulyanovsk have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Pfl
Izhevsk have less rest than Volga Ulyanovsk in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Pfl game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Zvezda Perm, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.
14-4-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Volga Ulyanovsk when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 24 matches are 31-22 (scored/conceded).
Relegation threatens Izhevsk who should definitely be looking for some points here. Ulyanovsk are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
