Arsenal Tula vs SKA Khabarovsk

Arsenal Tula host SKA Khabarovsk in the FNL on September 12, and it's a fixture that matters far more for the visitors right now. Arsenal Tula sit mid-table in ninth, while SKA Khabarovsk are anchored at the bottom of the table, still searching for any sign of momentum. The hosts' form has been patchy: a win over Neftekhimik was followed by a heavy 0-5 defeat to Sochi, then back-to-back draws before a loss to Veles. Forward Amur Kalmykov, who scored 16 goals last season, remains their main attacking threat. SKA have managed just one win all campaign and have leaked goals at an alarming rate, with scoring duties shared thinly among Nikita Motspan and Mikhail Gorelishvili. History also favors the hosts heavily: Arsenal Tula have won 10 of the 14 meetings between the sides since 2013, drawing one and losing just three. Our prediction: 2-0
