An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 10th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Rustavi's home stadium. The visitors last 28 games on grass have ended in 13 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses.

A quick return to home after this game, as Rustavi are hosting Lokomotivi Tbilisi in the Erovnuli Liga only four days away.
