It's early days in the Premier League and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Orenburg have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Orenburg form and stats

No points yet away for Orenburg, from their first 3 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Orenburg who now has to deal with a four game losing streak.

Orenburg are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games. For Orenburg, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
