The managers I. Menshchikov and N. Savichev are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the FNL league table.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Torpedo Moskva have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-5-4 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches. It's quite the trip for Torpedo Moskva when visiting Rotor Volgograd as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
