Krasnodar resumed the season well after the winter break. In 4 rounds he scored 7 points and lost only to Lokomotiv, which gained momentum (2:3). In the last round, the Bulls completely defeated Khimki (6:0), repeating their biggest victory in the RPL. Jon Cordoba is in great form and has already scored 4 goals since the restart of the league.
It is worth noting that Krasnodar, under new coach Vladimir Ivich, who arrived in the winter, became more productive in the last period. And thanks to the integrated approach in defense, there were not so many setbacks.
Rostov is approaching the upcoming match with a series of 4 victories in a row, but it is worth noting that the level of the rivals is not the highest. Yellow and Blue defeated Pari NN (2:1), first in the league, and then in the round of 16 of the Russian Cup with the score 1:0. In the last two rounds, the club turned out to be stronger than such outsiders as Khimki (1:0) and Torpedo (2:1).
A distinctive feature of Valery Karpin’s team is the abnormal number of penalty kicks (14) in their favour. According to this indicator, it has already broken the league record.
Both teams try to play modern football with a lot of pressure. I expect an open collision course game with plenty of scoring opportunities from this match.
