Rostov form and stats
5 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Rostov have to build on here at Rostov Arena in the Premier League.
Prior to that, an away loss at Lokomotiv Moskva.
Rostov are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Rostov Arena with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. three earlier games are comparable to this one, and Rostov has won two times, drawn one and lost zero. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Rostov has won by at least two goals zero times when in this position.
The Rostov fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
Tambov form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tambov, who have the most conceded goals (55) in Premier League, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-10 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Tambov, who have now gone 16 games without a victory. The Rotor Volgograd game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Tambov as they have lost seven games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Ural match.
Tambov failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Lokomotiv Moskva (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 2-5. Prior to that match, the Tambov manager S. Pervushin faced defeat when travelling to Arsenal Tula and losing 0-4.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Tambov, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Tambov goalkeeper Vitalii Sychev had a great day against Lokomotiv Moskva, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.
Nobody expects Tambov to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath eleven times before, with the overall statistics of won two, draw two and lost seven. When defeated, six matches have been lost by two or more goals.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Tambov, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
