Krasnodar are ready to challenge FK Nizjni Novgorod in this Premier League game. All you need to learn about the game can be found right here!
These teams have little in common geographically as FK Nizjni Novgorod have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Ural (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0. Nigmatullin was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.41. The agile goalkeeper Nigmatullin topped it up with a clean sheet.
Ahead of that, 1-1 at home hosting Dinamo Moskva (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the Russian Cup.
