FC Krasnodar U21 vs FK Sochi U21
FC Krasnodar struggled to win its first win of the season, and they will try to find a second win when visited by PFC Sochi this weekend. They acted as host to hold a match day 3 of the Premier League at Kuban Stadium.
FC Krasnodar’s first two matches were played in the away match, losing 1-0 at FK Akhmat headquarters, then Saturday (7/20) yesterday won 2-3 against FC Ufa. They were very fortunate to be able to bring maximum points because they left behind two goals in the first half and finally won through Jemal Tabidze’s own goal in the 86th minute.
Sochi PFC also underwent a bad start due to losing 1-0 at the headquarters of Spartak Moscow, then lost again 0-2 to Zenit St Petersburg on Monday (7/22) yesterday. As a team that had just been promoted, it was a bad feeling to open a campaign in the Premier League.
Last season they finished as runners-up Tambov by 4 points. They became the most fertile away team and conceded the fewest with 33 goals and only conceded 16 times. That achievement also helped them win 9 wins, 7 draws, and only lost 3 times.
Meanwhile, FC Krasnodar will compete with the status of third place in the Premier League. At that time they only lost 3 times as the host, while the rest won 9 times added 3 times after scoring 29 goals and conceding 11 times. They only met the season against the Sochi PFC, which was in 2010 when they were still both Division 2 participants with scores of glasses both as hosts and visitors.
Our Prediction: 1
