The visiting Neftekhimik side should be favourites in this visit to Shinnik, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Shinnik nor Neftekhimik as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Neftekhimik have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
