This match features two teams living in the basement of the FNL, Avangard Kursk holding 15th place and Baltika lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

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 Avangard Kursk and Baltika.

Baltika have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
