There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the FNL table so far. Here's the Armavir - Baltika latest:

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.

Baltika have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
