Competition: Russia Premier League
Competition: Sat 22.August
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Volgograd Arena (3500 seats)

The Rotor Volgograd manager A. Khatskevich attacks this game with the team placed 16th so far. In the visitors dressing room Sochi and their manager V. Fedotov are in 7th place before this match.

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 Rotor Volgograd and Sochi.

These teams have little in common geographically as Sochi have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Rotor Volgograd form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at Volgograd Arena. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from Rotor Volgograd's 13 home games.

Volgograd are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Akhmat Grozny. Before that, Rotor Volgograd played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Dinamo Moskva.

Alexander Dovbnya had a busy but productive day in the Akhmat Grozny match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Volgograd, as the Premier League home game vs Spartak Moskva is only four days away.

Rotor Volgograd has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Sochi form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Premier League away game of the season. During their previous season 15 away games resulted in 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats.

Sochi won their last game, 3-2 versus Rubin Kazan' played at home. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Khimki.

The end of the last match, against Rubin Kazan', was very satisfying as Zhoazino scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Sochi has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Tambov in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Sochi have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Volgograd won zero games, one match ended with a draw and Sochi has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
