It's the first game of the new season for Nosta and Volga Ulyanovsk. The canvas is blank, the possibilities endless.

It's no vacation for neither Nosta nor Volga Ulyanovsk as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Volga Ulyanovsk's home stadium. The visitors last ten games on grass have ended in 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. It's quite the trip for Volga Ulyanovsk when visiting Nosta as the cities are 1900 kilometers apart.
