Volna Kovernino and Ural 2 have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Pfl.

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.
Kovernino are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Ural most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
