SKA Rostov form and stats
SKA Rostov have performed here this season with 7 wins from 11 Pfl matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 3. After failing to beat Anzhi here, Rostov has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Rostov drew their last game, 0-0 away at Forte Taganrog (placed 7th). Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Mashuk-KMV.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 11 games), Rostov's attacking play is working. It's worth mentioning that 12 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Druzhba form and stats
Druzhba have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Pfl, after 2-2-7 (11 played).
As you can tell from the result, the match against Forte Taganrog was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Druzhba manager S. Eshugov has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
