Venue: Central'nyj Stadion Astrakhan'gazprom (17712 seats)

Volgar Astrakhan and Chernomorets are both riding high in the Pfl with their 3rd and 4th positions respectively. Expect a great game!

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.

Chernomorets have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
