The Chita manager M. Shvetsov attacks this game with the team placed 16th so far. In the visitors dressing room Znamya Truda and their manager A. Kertoake are in 15th place before this match.
The hosts Chita saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Russian Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Zenit Irkutsk, was also a home game here at Stadion Lokomotiv. The away team is better rested.
Znamya Truda have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 6000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Chita form and stats
Heartbreak before that as Chita lost 2-4 at Tver's place.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Chita as they have a new game in only three days, a Pfl match thankfully also at home. Kolomna are visiting.
Znamya Truda form and stats
Znamya Truda have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Pfl were 1 victory, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 8 fixtures.
Znamya's previous game was their home loss versus Kazanka (0-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Murom wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
The schedule is very tough for Znamya now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Pfl game at Zenit Irkutsk is waiting in only three days.
