SARTITCHALA, Georgia (Interstat) — SFC Shturmi hosts Lokomotivi Tbilisi on Sunday in Week 31 of Georgia’s Erovnuli Liga 2, a match that could have promotion implications in the second-tier league. Kickoff is at Sartitchalis Tsentraluri Stadioni.

Both teams enter the game after differing recent results. Shturmi played to a 2-2 draw Saturday against Dinamo Tbilisi II. The home side’s only other listed result this season is a 1-0 loss at Aragvi Dusheti on Jan. 18. Lokomotivi Tbilisi, meanwhile, comes off a 3-2 victory Saturday over Aragvi Dusheti. That win followed a stretch of three fixtures all listed on Thursday, May 21 — a 2-0 loss at Sioni, a 0-0 draw at Rustavi and a 1-0 win at Spaeri. The visitors’ season also includes a penalty-shootout loss to WIT Georgia on Nov. 1, 2025.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, while the service’s ELO system gives Shturmi a 56.30 percent probability of victory. The statistical models suggest a tightly contested affair between two sides with limited recent data.

Lokomotivi faces a congested schedule. After Sunday’s match, the team is listed to play again the same day at Gareji, then host Sioni later Sunday as well — an apparent schedule anomaly — followed by a home match against WIT Georgia on May 30. Shturmi’s upcoming games also include a same-day match at Gareji on Sunday, a home game against Spaeri later Sunday, and a trip to Rustavi on May 30.

The matchup marks a key opportunity for both clubs to gain ground in the league table as the season winds down. Shturmi will look to capitalize on home advantage at the Sartitchala venue, while Lokomotivi aims to build on its winning momentum. The outcome could depend on which team manages its recent busy fixture list more effectively.
