Competition: Russia FNL
Date: Wed 23.October
Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Neftekhimik Stadium (3000 seats)

It's advantage Neftekhimik so far with their 6th position in the FNL table, welcoming SKA Khabarovsk who are placed 8th.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a FNL match only four days ago. It's no vacation for neither Neftekhimik nor SKA Khabarovsk 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. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Baltika.
