It's still early in the Premier League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Tambov - Khimki preview!

It's no vacation for neither Tambov nor Khimki as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Tambov form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at Mordovia Arena. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses from Tambov's 15 home games.

Tambov lost their last game at CSKA Moskva (placed 2nd) after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Rostov (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Tambov perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tambov as a small favourite), we find two games. Tambov has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.

Tambov are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Zenit awaits in four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Tambov at home in the league. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Khimki form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Premier League away game of the season. During their previous season 14 away games resulted in 5 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats. One point away has become something of a habit for Khimki who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Khimki has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Sochi for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). A loss against CSKA Moskva was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Khimki in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Khimki, one draw and four defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Akhmat Grozny in just four days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Khimki has managed 1 goal and let in 1 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last five meetings: two - one - two (Tambov wins - draws - Khimki wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
