It's no vacation for neither Dinamo Vladivostok nor Rotor Volgograd 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.

Before that match, a FNL 2 - Group 3 win away at Ryazan.The match schedule is unforgiving for Dinamo Vladivostok as they have a new game in only three days, a FNL 2 - Group 3 match thankfully also at home. Strogino are visiting.
Rotor Volgograd form and stats
Volgograd's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Volga Ulyanovsk that finished 1-1.
It was a Second League A defeat before that one as the away game against Krasnodar II wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rotor Volgograd manager Popkov as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Dinamo Bryansk.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Volgograd have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats from one fixture.
