Tambov are welcoming Orenburg for another important game after their 3-0 result against 11th-placed Orenburg.
It's no vacation for neither Tambov nor Orenburg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Orenburg have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
