Season ticket holders at Stadion Trudovye Reservy haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Avangard Kursk languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Kaluga will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Kaluga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
