Another interesting game in the Premier League. Sochi is in the 6th position after playing three matches. They welcome Khimki who are placed 7th after three games.

Insights:
  • Sochi have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (0) in Premier League

Sochi and Khimki should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

It's quite the trip for Khimki when visiting Sochi as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
