- 10' Mohamed Brahimi, a France , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 20' FK Fakel Voronezh seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 58' The 30-year-old Maksim Maksimov has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
