Forte Taganrog form and stats
Forte Taganrog have played 4 Second League A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Taganrog, their manager Sarkisov and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Forte Taganrog are returning here after visiting Salyut Belgorod and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. What a relief, as that was the first league win after going winless in seven matches in a row. As mentioned above, Taganrog "killed" Salyut Belgorod in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Ahead of that result, a home win against Salyut Belgorod (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the Russian Cup.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Forte Taganrog, as the Russian Cup home game vs Makhachkala is only four days away.
Forte Taganrog have conceded 6 from these games.
Novosibirsk form and stats
As the visiting team matches, Novosibirsk, who have the the best goal difference (+7) in Second League A, have produced an overall stat of 3-1-0 so far. Novosibirsk have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Tekstilshchik with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Until that defeat this team had gained at least one point from nine league matches in a row.
Prior to that result Novosibirsk won their away game at Amkar Perm'. The scoreline was 1-0.Novosibirsk are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Novosibirsk as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
