5th position in the FNL table for Neftekhimik so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 11th-placed Krasnodar II visits.
It's no vacation for neither Neftekhimik nor Krasnodar II as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Krasnodar II when visiting Neftekhimik as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
