Competition: Russia FNL

Match begins: 11:00 (UTC)
Venue: Krytyj futbolnyj Manesh MU SK Krasnaya zvezda

Struggling Irtysh will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Baltika in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Irtysh have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
  • Baltika have scored at least twice as many goals away as Irtysh have scored home.

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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Baltika have to travel 3900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
