The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Arsenal Tula find themselves in 10th position and Khimki are placed 15th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Arsenal and Khimki.
Arsenal Tula form and stats
Arsenal Tula have collected 4 points from their Premier League home games so far after 1-1-1.
Arsenal's last game was hosting Dinamo Moskva (placed 4th) and winning 2-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Krasnodar.
This is expected to be a close game, with Arsenal Tula perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Arsenal Tula as a small favourite), we find six games. Arsenal has won one of these, drawn three and lost two.
Arsenal are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Spartak Moskva awaits in four days.
Arsenal has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. On the other hand, Arsenal have conceded 3 goals.
Khimki form and stats
The Premier League season is young and Khimki have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
The manager D. Gunko was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Stadion Rodina. Khimki suffered a 1-2 loss to Akhmat Grozny (placed 5th). A 0-1 defeat away at Tambov before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Khimki in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Khimki, one draw and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Khimki are hosting Rotor Volgograd in the Premier League only four days away.
It's early days yet, but Khimki has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
