Rostov form and stats

Home advantage was not enough for Rostov in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Zenit, 2-4. Maksim Osipenko was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.02. The defender Osipenko scored one goal and won 1 of 6 duels. As you can tell from the result, the match against Zenit was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A loss against Dinamo Moskva was the result prior to that, in a home game.
