Orenburg hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 23 points and a 11th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Spartak Moskva holds 9th place with 25 pts.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Sochi, so at least Orenburg are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Spartak Moskva have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
