In a weekend match in week 11, on Saturday Oct 1st, Sochi and Orenburg will play a match in Orenburg in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Orenburg is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against FC Nizhny Novgorod. Timur Ayupov scored the first goal for Orenburg in the 31st minute, then Aleksandr Ektov added another in the 73rd minute In the end, FC Nizhny Novgorod was frustrated by Orenburg’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Orenburg ended the match with the shutout victory. Orenburg is looking for direction having 4 win and 6 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Sochi recorded a 1-1 draw against Fakel. Evgeny Morozov struck first for Fakel in the 5th minute, but Christian Noboa got the equalizer for Sochi in the 11th minute earning them at least the one point. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Sochi should be reasonably happy with their performance.
