It's the second chance for points this season as Znamya Truda and Kazanka battle it out.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Znamya Truda form and stats
The fans are hoping that Znamya will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Pfl game against Murom (placed 4th). A Russian Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Znamya Noginsk.
Last season, Znamya Truda's league statistics were 3 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses, resulting in a 12th position in the Pfl. Over these 17 matches they scored 14 goals and conceded 23. Playing at home last season Znamya Truda managed 2-3-4 (win-draw-lost) with 10 goals and 11 conceded.
Kazanka form and stats
Kazanka had fun at their own home last time out, beating Kolomna 2-1. A. Mironov and N. Titkov scored. A 4-5 loss hosting Leningradets before that.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager I. Faizulin when N. Titkov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 55th minute.
Let's have a look at how Kazanka performed last season in the Pfl: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 5 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 26 and conceded 27 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 3 with 10/12 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
As for the last four games between these two teams, there's one Znamya victory, one draw and two Kazanka wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
