A nice win for Irtysh last time playing, versus Dinamo Barnaul. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with K. Morozov and A. Kuksin scoring for the victors.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Novosibirsk.The match schedule is unforgiving for Irtysh as they have a new game in only two days, a Pfl match thankfully also at home. Lada Tolyatti are visiting.

Volga Ulyanovsk might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zenit Izhevsk proved too strong as Ulyanovsk slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Start. Late heartbreak for Ulyanovsk in the Zenit Izhevsk match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.
That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Tyumen.Ulyanovsk have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 19 goals from 8 away matches. Ulyanovsk are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 4 goals away. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
