Baltika confront Sochi for recognition and sporting success.
Sochi have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Club Friendlies 3. That game was also an away game, at Austria Wien. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Baltika form and stats
Last season, Baltika's league results were 9 wins, 11 draws and 5 losses, ending with 7th position in the Club Friendlies 3. Over these 25 matches they scored 31 goals and let in 20. Playing as the host team in the previous season Baltika generated 5-7-1 (win-draw-lost) with 15 goals and 8 conceded.
Sochi form and stats
Let's have a look at how Sochi performed last season in the Club Friendlies 3: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. In total they scored 30 and conceded 21 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 1 and lost 4 with 10/12 goals scored/conceded.
The schedule is very tough for Sochi now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Club Friendlies 3 game at Rubin Kazan is waiting in only three days.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: four - one - three (Baltika wins - draws - Sochi wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less. The matches between these clubs sometimes lean towards being ill-tempered, having seen 4 red cards from the last eight duels.Top Goalscorers
