The league table in FNL tells a story about these teams so far, with Rotor Volgograd leading Spartak Moskva II by 30 points. Match preview to follow:

Rotor Volgograd and Spartak Moskva II should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Spartak Moskva II have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-8-21 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Spartak Moskva II have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
