Both these squads are capable in this league, Sochi enjoying a 2 point advantage on Krasnodar in the standings. Let's go!
- Krasnodar have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.
- Sochi have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.
The hosts Krasnodar saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Russian Cup. That game was an away game at Leningradets, so at least Krasnodar are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Krasnodar form and stats
Krasnodar must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Premier League games here at Stadion FK Krasnodar. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadion FK Krasnodar.
Happy days for Krasnodar in their previous game, a Russian Cup match away at Leningradets that ended with a 2-0 victory.
In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Akhmat Grozny with a 2-0 scoreline.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Krasnodar have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost four.
A decent goal production from Krasnodar in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Krasnodar have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Sochi form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Ufa.Sochi are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and two defeats. From a total of nine matches.
