With their 10 point advantage in the league table, Sochi U20 fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Rostov U20.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Rostov U20 have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
