This is the Third Division - Golden Ring season opener for these sides, whom at last are competing for points again. Will Cherepovets or Fakel Kirov get that highly important first win?
It's no vacation for neither Cherepovets nor Fakel Kirov 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.
