Zorkiy will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 17 points behind Torpedo Moskva.

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 grass and that the visiting Torpedo Moskva have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-5-4 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
