Rubin Kazan' are welcoming Orenburg for another important game after their 0-0 result against 7th-placed Ufa.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Ufa.
Rubin Kazan' form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Rubin Kazan' have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Kazan' Arena. It's been an uphill battle for Kazan' in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Ural game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Stress levels are on the rise for Rubin Kazan''s attacking players as they have now played 214 minutes without scoring in a league game. S. Bakaev was their last goal scorer.
An away draw last time out for Rubin Kazan', facing Ufa in a game that ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Rubin Kazan' lost 0-2 at home to Lokomotiv Moskva.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Kazan' as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Krasnodar are visiting.
The lack of attacking qualities in Kazan' means that they have only scored 5 goals in 11 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Rubin Kazan' have conceded 11 goals.
Orenburg form and stats
Orenburg have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 3-2-7 (12 played). With the Orenburg losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Orenburg are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Orenburg have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 253 minutes ago. J. Fameyeh was the goal scorer.
Orenburg's previous game was their home loss versus Krasnodar (0-3). A 0-1 defeat away at Lokomotiv Moskva before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Orenburg are hosting CSKA Moskva in the Premier League only three days away.
Orenburg have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Orenburg have conceded 22 goals in their away games.
