Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Salyut Belgorod & Tekstilshchik face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Russian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
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 Belgorod and Tekstilshchik.
Salyut Belgorod form and stats
Last season, Belgorod's Russian Cup journey ended in the 4th round.This match is a Russian Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses in this competition. Belgorod haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Sokol Saratov, 347 days ago.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Arsenal Tula (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) that ended 1-1.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Belgorod played a great game against Khimki 2 and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. What a game it was for D. Degtev when beating Khimki 2, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Belgorod as they are travelling to their away game against Sakhalin in the Pfl. That match is three days after this one.
Tekstilshchik form and stats
They also participated in Russian Cup last season. This ended in the 4th round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tekstilshchik so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Pavlov, the Tekstilshchik manager, as the last three away games were defeats. It's a growing despair in Tekstilshchik as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Two away games in a row for Tekstilshchik, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 versus Spartak Vladikavkaz in the FNL. It was a FNL defeat before that one as the away game against Neftekhimik wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.
A new game in only four days for Tekstilshchik, the FNL home match versus Spartak Moskva II. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tekstilshchik as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Tekstilshchik's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Belgorod one win, zero draws and Tekstilshchik one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Top Goalscorers
