A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
It's quite the trip for Yenisey when visiting Neftekhimik as the cities are 3300 kilometers apart.
