Akhmat Grozny and Krasnodar have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier League.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Champions League game only three days ago.
Akhmat Grozny form and stats
3-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Akhmat Grozny so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Akhmat Grozny after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Akhmat supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Ufa in Premier League and win 3-1. 1-1 away at Shinnik before that.
Andrey Semenov was on the receiving end of a red card in the Akhmat-Ufa match, being sent off in the 58th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 3-1 victory.
This is expected to be a close game, with Akhmat Grozny perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Akhmat Grozny as a small favourite), we find ten games. Akhmat has won four of these, drawn two and lost four.
Akhmat Grozny have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Akhmat Arena with 8 goals in 5 league matches. 6 goals have been conceded.
Krasnodar form and stats
2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Krasnodar playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.
Krasnodar failed to get anything from their last game, a Champions League home match vs Chelsea that ended with defeat 0-4. A 1-3 loss hosting Spartak Moskva before that.
Krasnodar lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Krasnodar playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Krasnodar wins, two draws and two defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Champions League trip to Sevilla.
Krasnodar find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. Krasnodar are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 5 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Akhmat, one draw and six wins for Krasnodar. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
