- Tambov is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Rotor Volgograd has the fewest scored goals (9) in Premier League
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Tambov form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Tambov are certainly not brimming with confidence.
In their previous game, the manager S. Pervushin led his Tambov to a defeat in the Russian Cup match away at Lokomotiv Moskva. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Mordovia Arena. Before that game, the home loss against Rubin Kazan with the scoreline 0-1.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Tambov here at Mordovia Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 10 games). Tambov have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Rotor Volgograd form and stats
There's been little loot from Rotor Volgograd's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 9 away games in the Premier League. Rotor Volgograd, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Premier League, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Rotor Volgograd are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The Rotor Volgograd goalkeeper Josip Condric is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Flamarion Junior scored in Rotor Volgograd's previous match, the home game against Arsenal Tula that ended 1-0. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Arsenal Tula.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Volgograd as they have only managed to score 5 times from 9 away games in the league. Rotor Volgograd's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
