Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Luki-Energiya & Yenisey face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Russian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Yenisey have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
It's quite the trip for Yenisey when visiting Luki-Energiya as the cities are 4600 kilometers apart.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Luki-Energiya and Yenisey.
Luki-Energiya form and stats
Luki-Energiya's previous fixture was also a home event, the defeat 1-2 against Yenisey (in Russian Cup).
Preceding that match was a FNL 2 - Group 2 defeat to Dinamo St. Petersburg (0-2).Yenisey form and stats
They also participated in Russian Cup last season. This ended in the regions path - 5th round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Yenisey so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
Two away games in a row for Yenisey, whose manager Steinbrecher could celebrate last time after the Russian Cup win against Luki-Energiya.
That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Chernomorets in the FNL.The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Yenisey's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
