It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sheriff and Crvena Zvezda.

Crvena Zvezda have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sheriff's two home games in the National Division so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Bolshaya Sportivnaya Arena.

Sheriff's last game was hosting Dinamo-Auto and winning 7-1. As mentioned above, Sheriff "killed" Dinamo-Auto in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Sheriff has scored 7 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
