There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Orenburg leading Irtysh by 29 points.
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 Orenburg and Irtysh.
Irtysh have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
