Fakel hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 16 points and a 20th position in the FNL table. Visiting Olimpiyets holds 11th place with 32 pts.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
