  • 29' Aleksandr Silyanov, a Russia , has 13 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 34' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FK Rostov winning 100% of all matches.
  • 39' Russia international Aleksey Ionov has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 44' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
