Karagumruk is a clear middle peasant of the championship. Playing defensive football, they themselves score little, only 1.6 goals per game and give little opportunity to score their opponents, which equals to 1.3 per match. This allows them to stay in the middle of the tournament table with 37 points. Let’s see if they manage to improve their performance in this match.
