Fakel form and stats
1-7-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Fakel so far this season. The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Fakel has racked up an amazing five draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue?
The club members are hoping that Fakel will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the match against Spartak Moskva (placed 2nd). Gorodovoy had a busy but productive day in the Spartak Moskva match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

Sochi form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sochi so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-6 (win-draw-lose).
Sochi might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Orenburg proved too strong as Sochi slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Olimpiyskiy Stadion Fisht. That defeat was their first after four consecutive league rounds winning points. Sochi 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.
