This match features two teams living in the basement of the Pfl, Spartak Vladikavkaz holding 16th place and Anzhi lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Inter Cherkessk) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4. A goal frenzy last time out for Spartak Vladikavkaz, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Inter Cherkessk. Fun stuff to watch!

SKA Rostov was the last time a defeat was avoided.
