Last season, Krasnodar ended tenth in the table, and their defense was a disaster throughout the campaign. In fact, they had conceded the most goals in the Russian top division, with the exception of the bottom four teams.
Both Krasnodar and Khimki are having a bad run of form at the moment, allowing a lot of goals. This pattern may also be seen in their prior head-to-head statistics. Expect a high-scoring matchup between the two on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Khimki had placed seventh and was on a long losing streak. They also have the embarrassment of allowing seven goals in a single game against this opponent just a year ago.
The most recent meeting concluded in a 1-0 victory for Khimki.
They had, however, lost the game the night before by a score of 7-2.
Goals were scored by both teams in every match at this stadium.
The visitors have yet to win on this surface.
Krasnodar had lost 16 of their previous 20 games, going on two consecutive three-game losing streaks and two separate two-match losing streaks in the process.
It's worth noting that they're on a nine-game losing streak at this arena, with two or more goals conceded in each of those games.
Their opponents, on the other hand, are on a six-game losing streak and have conceded a total of 11 goals in their last three games. Furthermore, since November of 2020, they have only won twice on the road.
