The Premier League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Spartak Moskva and Arsenal Tula are placed 2nd and 11th respectively.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Spartak Moskva form and stats
Seven points from three Premier League home games is a great start for Spartak Moskva, who are hoping to build on that form here at Otkrytiye Arena. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Spartak after consecutive victories at their own ground.
A strong away win for Spartak against Rotor Volgograd the last match, as Zelimkhan Bakaev were on target. Ahead of that match, Spartak won a home game hosting Lokomotiv Moskva (2-1).
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Spartak Moskva's attacking play is working. 3 goals have been conceded.
Arsenal Tula form and stats
Arsenal Tula have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Premier League were 7 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats from 15 fixtures.
Arsenal delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Khimki (placed 15th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Dinamo Moskva.
It's early days yet, but Arsenal Tula has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Spartak, zero draws and five wins for Arsenal Tula. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
