Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Stadion imeni V.I. Lenina clash with Zenit II, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the FNL table.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Zenit II 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 6-6-15 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.
