The Pfl league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Khimik Novomoskovsk and Kaluga are placed 10th and 6th respectively.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Russian Cup. That game was also an away game, at Avangard Kursk. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Kaluga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
