The CSKA Moskva & Krasnodar managers A. Berezutski and V. Goncharenko are both fearing and feeling excited about this crucial fixture in the upper area of the Premier League table.
- CSKA Moskva have the most clean sheets (3) at home in Premier League
- Krasnodar have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Krasnodar have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
