Rodina Moscow

vs

FC Chayka

Preview

Rodina Moscow

• Rodina Moscow are one of the most interesting clubs in Russia right now as Spanish coach Juan Diaz has instilled a Spanish-like possession-based game in his FNL 2025/2026 side.
• Rodina sit third in the table with 43 points from 24 games and the team is unbeaten in two home games, winning one and drawing the other.
• Diaz’s methods are clearly working as the Moscow club have won their last two FNL contests, including a confident 0-2 away win at Torpedo.
• His high-pressing team will play a higher-tempo game than Chayka, who are managed by Dmitri Kombarov, and they will look to break up the home side’s rhythm while trying to counterattack and grab a goal.

FC Chayka

• Chayka sit 17th in the FNL 2025/2026 table with 16 points from 24 matches and have won only one of their last five, drawing two and losing two.
• The away record of Kombarov’s team is a big reason for their lowly position with only two wins from 12 away fixtures - a record which includes no victory in their last two away from home.
• Rodina will undoubtedly be the favorite to win this one at 1.37, which seems like the right result given their form and Chayka’s troubles on the road.
• Rodina have scored 17 goals in 12 home games this season in the FNL 2025/2026 and will make plenty of chances to add to that against Chayka, who score on average 1.00 per game on the road.

Head-to-Head

• Chayka have no win in last seven meetings.
• The 0-0 draw between the teams at Chayka’s ground five months ago in the FNL 2025/2026 is probably a fair reflection of the two clubs’ strengths and weaknesses.

Key Players

• Artem Maksimenko has scored ten goals in 24 FNL 2025/2026 matches and looks a likely candidate to add to his account on Monday after netting two of his team’s last four.
• Artem Sokolov, who has scored six in 18 FNL 2025/2026 appearances, although only two of these have come in his last five.
