Struggling Krylya Sovetov will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Rostov in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Rostov have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Relegation threatens Sovetov who should definitely be looking for some points here. Rostov are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
