Season ticket holders at Stadion Kupol haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Zenit Izhevsk languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Chelyabinsk will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Pfl match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Zvezda Perm.
