An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 12th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Baroka have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
