Venue: Stadion Gazovik (4950 seats)

The visiting Rostov side should be favourites in this visit to Orenburg, as the away team holds a 20 point advantage from their 27 league games this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Orenburg and Rostov.

Rostov have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Orenburg are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Rostov are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Orenburg form and stats

Orenburg's struggle is real here at Stadion Gazovik with only 12 points collected from 14 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-3-8. Problems are piling up for Orenburg as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of seven games. This streak could be one for the history books. It's been an uphill battle for Orenburg in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Arsenal Tula game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Stress levels are on the rise for Orenburg's attacking players as they have now played 523 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Fameyeh was their last goal scorer.

The Orenburg crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-4 to CSKA Moskva here at Stadion Gazovik in a Premier League match.

Orenburg were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Orenburg's goalkeeper Andrei Klimovich was extremely busy against CSKA Moskva, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Orenburg as they are travelling to their away game against Zenit in the Premier League. That match is three days after this one.

Orenburg have scored 13 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Orenburg defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
