National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rodina Moskva or Fakel that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Rodina Moskva nor Fakel 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.
Rodina Moskva form and stats
Ahead of that match, Rodina Moskva lost 1-2 at home to Dolgie Prudy.
Rodina Moskva are traveling soon after this match as the FNL Cup match at Ural awaits in three days.
Fakel form and stats
Fakel's mission in FNL Cup last season failed in the 11th place final.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fakel so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-8 (win-draw-lose).
Fakel are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the FNL Cup against Ural (placed 4th). A loss against Olimpiyets was the result prior to that, in a FNL home game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Fakel manager V. Beschastnikh as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Khimki.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Fakel, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
