With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Ufa fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Orenburg.

It's no vacation for neither Ufa 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.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
