The Rostov & CSKA Moskva head coaches Karpin and Fedotov are both fearing and eagerly anticipating this key fixture in the higher regions of the Premier League positions.
- Rostov have not yet lost a game.
- CSKA Moskva have the most scored goals (16) in Premier League
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Rostov form and stats
Rostov have collected seven points from their first three Premier League games here at Rostov Arena, a promising start.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Rostov, who played 2-2 against Sochi. That match was also played at this venue (Rostov Arena). There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Sochi as Komlichenko's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Komlichenko felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Sochi as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 28th minute. The attacker Komlichenko was named "man of the match" for Rostov with a rating of 7.42/10. Komlichenko scored one goal and hit one key pass.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Olimpiyets with a 4-3 scoreline.A decent goal production from Rostov in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches.
CSKA Moskva form and stats
The Premier League season is young and CSKA Moskva have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Impressive finishing from Carrascal, Medina, Nababkin and Chalov secured the home win 4-2 against Akhmat Grozny in their previous game. A bizarre game with plenty of goals last time out for Moskva, as mentioned above. 6 goals in total, will this fixture be as much fun? Which player has beaten the opponent goalie four games in a row for the away team? The answer is Chalov and that is quite the feat! Medina, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.8. Medina scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Zenit's place.Goal fest? This team have played 5 consecutive league fixtures all ending with at least three goals scored (over 2.5 goals).
CSKA Moskva have the goal stats of 3-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
