Rotor Volgograd
- Rotor Volgograd have drawn each of their last four league games, including the last three 1-1.
- Valery Burlachenko took charge of Rotor in November 2025 and immediately put his mark on the team with his favoured style of playing out from the back, having an overall possession and control of tempo.
- Rotor’s home record of six wins, two draws and three losses is solid, but unspectacular.
Fakel Voronezh
- Fakel Voronezh are undefeated in their last five league games (W3, D2).
- Fakel are top of the FNL on 52 points after 23 games while hosts Rotor Volgograd are seventh with 33 points from 24 games.
- Fakel Voronezh have scored just 12 goals in 11 away games in the FNL 2025/2026 (average 1.09).
Head-to-Head
Fakel ran riot at home to Rotor in the reverse fixture in the FNL 2025/2026, winning 4-0 .
Key Players
- Said Aliev is Rotor’s biggest threat with eight goals in 24 FNL appearances, which isn’t enough for a team with promotion ambitions so they could do with another forward of his quality alongside the striker.
- In Pusi Belaidi, who has scored 14 league goals this season, Fakel have that luxury.
Betting Insights
- But the oddsmakers have got their bets wrong in this one, we think, as the 2.2 about a Fakel win seems too generous.
- So we’re supporting ‘Both Teams to Score - No’ at 1.58 alongside our away win prediction.
Prediction
The visitors have also won six, drawn two and lost three away from home, so we can’t see any reason not to support the promotion-chasing visitors to get all three points.
