PFC Sochi vs Khimki
Russia – Premier League
Date: Monday, 16 August 2021
Kick-off at 17:00 UK/ 18:00 CET,
Venue: Fisht Olympic Stadium (Sochi).
PFC Sochi was in fifth position on the Russian Premier League table last season. The Red-Blacks is still close to the top five spots this term after three rounds until now. They will lock horns as the host with Khimki in the upcoming clash in the league on Monday at Fisht Olympic Stadium.
The host will come into the game on the back of a double win in the campaign. Even though they lost the opening match on the road, the 2-0 win at home against Ural in the last league clash will certainly improve their morale in the next fixture.
On the other hand, Khimki has been unbeaten in the recent two fixtures with a draw in it. The visitor also had a rough start at the beginning with a defeat in the schedule. They will visit on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Rostov in the previous encounter.
PFC Sochi is on a double win in their schedule and the morale will be high as they will play with the ground advantage in the middle. The host has lost none of their last five home matches across all major competitions in the schedule.
On the other hand, Khimki exhibits a shaky defense by dropping points twice out of the three attempts so far this season. Hence, the home team is likely to have an edge in the encounter over the traveling side on Monday.
