Match preview

Fakel welcome Baltika to Voronezh sitting at the foot of the Premier League table in 16th position. The hosts are still searching for their first win of the campaign, having collected only two points from their opening seven fixtures with a record of two draws and five defeats.

Baltika have enjoyed a significantly more productive start to the season, occupying 7th place with 10 points. The visitors have shown strong form on their travels, securing two victories from three away league matches while conceding only twice and recording two away clean sheets.

Fakel have struggled heavily in the final third, scoring just one goal in four home matches and failing to find the net in three of them. Given Baltika's organized five-man defensive structure and Fakel's ongoing difficulties in generating attacking output, the visitors look well placed to take something from this encounter.
