Spartak Moskva welcome Olimpiyets for another interesting Premier League fixture here at Otkrytiye Arena.

Olimpiyets form and stats

One match played away so far in the Premier League for Olimpiyets and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 12 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from 21 games. Olimpiyets has drawn their two previous away games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Ural (placed 12th) in their previous outing. The Premier League match ended in a draw 1-1. Defender Kirill Gotsuk was the best team player with a rating of 7.73. Gotsuk served one assist, hit one key pass and won 8 of 9 duels. As mentioned above, Olimpiyets drew the match against Ural. Manager A. Kerzhakov brought on Timur Suleymanov to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Sochi.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Olimpiyets played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.

1 goal so far away for Olimpiyets, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
