Competition: Russia FNL

Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Volgograd Arena (45568 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the FNL table has to be read with caution. So far Rotor Volgograd find themselves in 4th position and Khimki are placed 1st.

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 Rotor Volgograd and Khimki.

Khimki have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
