Fakel Voronezh
LLLLDL ⚠
Fakel Voronezh won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 1-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Akron Tolyatti.
In that match, Fakel Voronezh managed 44% possession and 6 shots at goal with 1 on target. Akron Tolyatti got 17 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Artem Dzyuba (72') scored for Akron Tolyatti.
It has not been often in recent games where Fakel Voronezh have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Fakel Voronezh have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals on the way. That aside, it remains to be seen whether the trend will persist in this upcoming game.
A look at their previous results shows us that Fakel Voronezh:
- haven't won against FC Rostov in their previous 3 league games.
- are without a home win in the past 8 league matches. Something needs to change.
