There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Chelyabinsk leading Lada SOK by 27 points.

Insights:
  • Chelyabinsk have the most scored goals in the first half (29) in Pfl
  • Chelyabinsk have scored more than double the goals of Lada SOK.

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.

Chelyabinsk are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Lada is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
