Arsenal Tula take on the visitors SKA Khabarovsk at “Arsenal Stadium” in the round two of the Russian Premier League. The game will be played in Tula on Monday, July 24th.
Last season Arsenal Tula saved their place in the Russian elite division only in the Relegation Play Offs. This summer the club was enforced by three football players: Sergey Tkachev, Goran Causic and Victor Alvarez however, all of them came from the famous clubs: CSKA Moscow, Osasuna and Espanyol. The start of the season was unsuccessful for “Canoneers”: the team was beaten by Lokomotiv Moscow with 0:1 scoreline on the road. Arsenal Tula are the home side: in 2017 it gained six victories, one draw and one loss in eight encounters in face of its fans. “Canoneers”’ undefeated home streak counts for five clashes and has been lasting since the 26th of April.

This season SKA Khabarovsk join the elite division through the Promotion Play Offs. And new season for the side from Khabarovsk started from the predictable loss to Zenit Petersburg with 0:2 scoreline at their own turf. There is obvious and dramatic gap in teams’ football class. SKA Khabarovsk didn’t show consistent performance at away grounds: this year the team recorded two triumphs, five draws and four defeats in 11 games on the road.
Arsenal Tula and SKA Khabarovsk met five times in their history resulting in four victories of the players from Tula and one win of the performers from Khabarovsk. Taking into account the rivals’ head-to-heads statistics as well as Arsenal Tula’s results in front of their supporters alongside with SKA Khabarovsk’s performance on the road, I believe that the hosts may count for three points.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal Tula to win.
