Spartak Moskva II are welcoming Avangard Kursk for another important game after their 0-2 result against 17th-placed Luch Vladivostok.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Avangard Kursk have a different surface at their stadium (grass).
