Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Krasnodar - CSKA Moskva!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
CSKA Moskva have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
