Sochi
- PFK Sochi are third with 19 points from 10 matches in the FNL 2026-2027.
- Sochi have won four and lost one of their last five league games.
- Igor Osin'kin's Sochi are a higher-tempo possession side that will play at you, pressing in waves and trying to recover the ball high up the field in numbers.
- Osin'kin has been in charge since 1 September 2025 and has Sochi set up in a 4-2-3-1 that allows them to control the ball in the middle of the park, get wide players forward and get into the opponent's box quickly and in numbers.
- Sochi have looked sharp at home in recent matches, posting two wins and a defeat from their last three.
SKA Khabarovsk
- SKA Khabarovsk are 18th with four after their opening 10 games.
- SKA Khabarovsk have lost five and drawn once of their six away league games in 2026-2027.
- Mikhail Semenov has been in charge of SKA since 8 June 2026 and his side have been set up to sit deep, stay compact and hit you on the counter, as well as being dangerous from set-pieces.
- They have one of the lower scoring averages in the FNL at 1.17 goals scored per game and will struggle to threaten Sochi, but have conceded at a rate of 2.33 per away match - so there's scope for the home team to hit them more than once if they get going.
