Match begins: 00:00 (UTC)

This could be an interesting match as Volga Ulyanovsk have their presumed home advantage while Neftekhimik are ahead 20 points in the Pfl table.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Neftekhimik 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 2-0-2 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
