This has all the signs of yet another entertaining meeting at Olimpiyskiy Stadion Fisht in the Premier League. Sochi is in 10th position and welcome Lokomotiv Moskva in 11th spot. Read about the match here!
- Sochi have the most clean sheets (2) at home in Premier League
- Lokomotiv Moskva have scored in all their matches so far.
Lokomotiv Moskva have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Sochi form and stats
Sochi have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Sochi's previous game was also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Rostov (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Sweet to taste a league victory after three fixtures without. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Sochi played a great game against Rostov and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. The gifted forward Kramarič outdid all teammates in that fixture and managed a match rating of 9.71 out of 10. Kramarič scored two goals, served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting CSKA Moskva (1-3).The match schedule is unforgiving for Sochi as they have a new game in only three days, a Russian Cup match thankfully also at home. CSKA Moskva are visiting.
The Sochi manager Khokhlov has got the team scoring with 7 from 3 home games in the league. Sochi are not conceding a lot of goals here at Olimpiyskiy Stadion Fisht in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Lokomotiv Moskva form and stats
Things could have gone better for Lokomotiv Moskva in their Premier League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Krasnodar (placed 1st) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-1. The draw against Krasnodar came from a losing position. The Lokomotiv Moskva manager Galaktionov brought on Miranchuk as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Defender Nenakhov was the best team player with a rating of 7.44. Nenakhov hit one key pass and won 8 of 16 duels.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Krylya Sovetov.Both teams to score at least one goal each? This club's most recent statistics suggest that, having finished 5 league matches in a row with one or more goals from each team.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Russian Cup trip to Rostov.
