Rodina Moscow
- Rodina Moscow have won 6 and drawn 2 of their last 10 matches in all competitions (2 losses).
- Rodina Moscow have had a pretty solid last 5 games of their preparation period, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1, and they have been even stronger at home in all competitions (W2, D1, L1).
- However, their most recent result was a 0-0 draw away to FK Lokomotiv Moscow and, more importantly, they have a 5-0 home loss to Akron Tolyatti in the rear-view mirror.
- Artem Maksimenko has been their main goal threat in the last 5 matches, scoring 3 of Rodina's 9 goals.
- They have conceded only 5 goals in 4 home games across all competitions, so they are strong at the back.
FC Rostov
- FC Rostov have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their last 10 in all competitions.
- They are coming off a 3-1 away defeat to FK Fakel Voronezh, but they showed plenty of bite in their 4-3 away win over FK Krasnodar.
- The visitors have an away record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 5 games and 9 goals scored in all competitions.
Head-to-Head
The 3-2 win for FC Rostov in the corresponding match is further evidence that they can hurt Rodina Moscow, who will be looking to avoid a similar fate here.
