The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Khimki find themselves in 15th position and Rotor Volgograd are placed 16th.
It's no vacation for neither Khimki nor Rotor Volgograd as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Khimki form and stats
Khimki are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Premier League games here at Arena Khimki. The Khimki manager D. Gunko might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Khimki shared the glory with Arsenal Tula in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Akhmat Grozny (1-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Khimki have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Khimki at home in the league. 1 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Rotor Volgograd form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Rotor Volgograd with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts. It's a growing despair in Rotor Volgograd as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The manager A. Khatskevich was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Volgograd Arena. Volgograd suffered a 0-1 loss to Spartak Moskva (placed 2nd). A 1-2 loss hosting Sochi before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rotor Volgograd playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Rotor Volgograd wins, two draws and three defeats.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Rotor Volgograd has managed 1 goal and let in 3 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: one win for Khimki, two draws and four wins for Rotor Volgograd. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
