Rubin Kazan' and Krasnodar have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier League.
- Rubin Kazan' haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Krasnodar haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's quite the trip for Krasnodar when visiting Kazan' as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
Kazan' are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Krasnodar are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Rubin Kazan' form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Rubin Kazan' are 5-3-4 (wins-draw-losses).
The Kazan' goalkeeper Yury Dyupin is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 285 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.
Kazan' are returning here after visiting Ural in a Premier League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Darko Jevtić scored the goal(s). Before that match, a win away at Rostov.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kazan' have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won four, drawn four and lost one.
The Kazan' fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. On the other hand, Rubin Kazan' have conceded 15 goals.
Krasnodar form and stats
There's been little loot from Krasnodar's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the Premier League. Krasnodar only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw.
Krasnodar's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Zenit that finished 2-2. A 0-1 defeat away at Arsenal Tula before that.
It looked so good for Krasnodar vs Zenit, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Krasnodar playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Krasnodar wins, two draws and four defeats.
The visiting Krasnodar have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 13 goals from 12 games. As for defending, Krasnodar rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
