Struggling Rubin Kazan' will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Krasnodar in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 3rd 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.
It's quite the trip for Krasnodar when visiting Kazan' as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
Relegation threatens Kazan' who should definitely be looking for some points here. Krasnodar are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Rubin Kazan' form and stats
4-2-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Rubin Kazan' so far this season.
Rubin Kazan' are confident in defense, having played 242 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Ufa that finished 0-0.
Manager L. Slutskiy felt very clever after D. Makarov scored the winning goal against Orenburg, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 57th minute.
There will be little rest for Kazan' after this match as they are travelling to CSKA Moskva for a Premier League game in only three days.
Rubin Kazan' have scored 6 goals here in 12 league matches, a depressing statistic. From these home matches, Kazan' have conceded only 11 goals.
Krasnodar form and stats
6 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Krasnodar playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.
Krasnodar failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Zenit (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 2-4. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Rostov.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Zenit was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
After this away game Krasnodar return home for a Premier League game against Ural. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Krasnodar has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 21 goals from 13 games. As opposed to that, Krasnodar have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
