Who will run out as winners when Rostov go to play Krasnodar? In this preview you'll learn all the relevant info and stats necessary to make a prediction.
- Krasnodar have the fewest dropped points from leading position (4) in Premier League
- Rostov have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Premier League
It's quite the trip for Rostov when visiting Krasnodar as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.
Krasnodar and Rostov 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.
Krasnodar form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Krasnodar have managed 5 wins, 2 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Krasnodar, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Krasnodar club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stadion FK Krasnodar: A 1-3 defeat against Zenit (placed 1st). Sorokin was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.24 out of 10. The defender Sorokin won 5 of 6 duels.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Krylya Sovetov.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Krasnodar, as the Premier League home game vs Lokomotiv Moskva is only four days away.
Krasnodar has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches.
Rostov form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats. The fact that Rostov have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
Rostov had fun at their own home (Stadion FK Krasnodar) last time out, beating Spartak Moskva 3-2. Tugarev, Sowe and Poloz scored. Sowe came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Spartak Moskva last time out, making the manager Karpin feel like a tactical genius. Attacker Tugarev got a player rating of 7.62 in the game. "Man of the match" Tugarev scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).
Preceding that game was the away victory against Arsenal Tula with the score of 2-1.Rostov are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 12 away games so far. Rostov's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
