There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Rostov leading Sochi by 13 points.

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.

Sochi have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Rostov form and stats

This stadium, Rostov Arena, has been a fortress for Rostov in the Premier League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 5-1-0. Ever since the Spartak Moskva game Rostov has been unbeatable here at Rostov Arena producing four straight wins.

In their previous game, the manager V. Karpin led his Rostov to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Zenit. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Rostov Arena. A strong away win before that one, visiting CSKA Moskva and winning 3-1.

Rostov were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
