Chelyabinsk can not expect any pleasantries from their host Nosta in this Pfl game. Here's our full preview!

Insights:
  • Nosta have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Chelyabinsk have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

This pitch has grass, which is not Chelyabinsk's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Chelyabinsk have performed like this: Played 25 matches resulting in 10 wins, 5 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 37-28 (scored/conceded).

Chelyabinsk have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
