Fakel

The team has been raising the bar in recent games. In their last meeting, Fakel emerged victorious against Dinamo Lo 3:2, and prior to this they defeated St. Petersburg's Zenit 3:1. Even though they were obliterated by Belogorie 0:3 two rounds ago, 'Belogorie' is currently playing impressively strong, making it difficult for the opponents to counteract. This season, the team resides in the ninth position on the league table, with 14 wins and 13 losses on the record.

Shakhter

In their last match, Shakhter annihilated the tournament outsider Ugra-Samotlor, but they seem to struggle to impose their play against more formidable opponents. Three consecutive defeats: against Dinamo Lo 0:3, Nefteyanik 0:3 and Belogorie 0:3. After 27 Super League matches, the team sits tenth in the standings, with 13 wins and 14 losses.
