Ryazan Team Overview
Ryazan-VDV head into their second game of the season looking to bounce back after a 2-1 defeat to Yugra in their opener. Over their last ten outings, the team have picked up six wins-a record reflected in their stats: they average 2.3 goals per game, but their defense has been equally porous, conceding 2.3 per match. The lack of progress in the latter half of last season remains a concern, and unless Ryazan-VDV tighten up at the back, those defensive frailties could continue to haunt them.
