Struggling Sochi will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying CSKA Moskva in the upcoming league round. It's 16th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
The visiting CSKA Moskva played their last game only three days ago, a Europa League match. That game, against Ferencvaros, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for CSKA Moskva.
It's quite the trip for CSKA Moskva when visiting Sochi as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
Sochi form and stats
With 1 Premier League win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Sochi, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The Sochi manager A. Tochilin might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Sochi crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Tambov here at Fisht Olympic Stadium in a Premier League match. Prior to that, an away loss at Rostov.
Sochi have scored 3 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, Sochi have conceded 7 goals.
CSKA Moskva form and stats
Playing away, CSKA Moskva have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Premier League this season. CSKA Moskva has drawn their two previous away games.

CSKA Moskva have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
