The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Khimki are in the 9th position while the guesting Tambov worry at 16th.
- Khimki haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Tambov have the most conceded goals (45) in Premier League
Khimki and Tambov should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Khimki form and stats
Khimki have played 12 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Khimki has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Arena Khimki. We remember; it was Zenit.
The fans are hoping that Khimki will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Zenit (placed 1st). Before that match, a win away at Rubin Kazan.
The Khimki fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. On the other hand, Khimki have conceded 13 goals.
Tambov form and stats
Tambov, who have the most conceded goals (45) in Premier League, have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-2-8 (11 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Tambov, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Rotor Volgograd game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing five defeats in a row for Tambov in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Ural.
Home advantage was not enough for Tambov in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting CSKA Moskva, 1-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sochi wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.
Tambov goalkeeper Vitalii Sychev had a great day against CSKA Moskva, but despite making nine saves the loss could not be avoided.
As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Tambov's match history for similar games we find three matches. The home team won three of these as expected, two of them by at least two goals. Tambov managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Tambov manager S. Pervushin has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
