On Sat Oct 22nd, in week 14, Fakel will host Rostov at Central’nyi Stadion Profsoyuzov in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 14th placed Fakel is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Khimki. Khimki had 16 on net, and Fakel had 19, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. Fakel looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while 4th placed Rostov is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Ural. Lazar Randjelović struck first for Ural in the 17th minute on a feed from Aleksey Kashtanov, but Roman Tugarev got the equalizer for Rostov in the 26th minute. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Rostov should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Rostov is glad to have Dmitri Poloz in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Fakel’s most prolific scorer has been Evgeny Morozov. He has netted two goals over the last 5 matches.
