An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 12th place.
Strogino and Khimik Novomoskovsk should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Khimik Novomoskovsk have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-0 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
