There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Rostov form and stats
With 1 Premier League win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Rostov are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Rostov shared the glory with Spartak Moskva in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Midfield player Daniil Glebov got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Glebov scored one goal and hit one key pass.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Torpedo Moskva (0-2).This is expected to be a close game, with Rostov perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rostov as a small favourite), we find nine games. Rostov has won four of these, drawn two and lost three.
Rostov have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Rostov Arena with 9 goals in 6 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Rostov with 12 goals conceded in these matches.
Rubin Kazan' form and stats
Playing away, Rubin Kazan' have won 1 game, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Premier League this season.
Kazan' had fun at their own home (Rostov Arena) last time out, beating CSKA Moskva 1-0. Mikhail Kostyukov scored. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager L. Slutskiy when Mikhail Kostyukov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Mikhail Kostyukov scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time to defeat CSKA Moskva. Midfield player Sead Hakšabanović was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.22/10. Hakšabanović served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 42 successful passes (of 50 total).
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Ufa that ended 1-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rubin Kazan' playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were zero Kazan' wins, five draws and four defeats.
Rubin Kazan' have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 5 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Kazan' have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
