These two teams locked horns only once in the past so far. That friendly match in January 2022 ended without a winner 4-4.

Fakel Form

Fakel are currently sitting in the last 16th place on the Premier League table, having won only five points from the opening eight rounds.

Inefficiency has been a big issue for them, failing to score in the last three league duels against Krasnodar (0-0), Krylya Sovetov (3-0) and Ural (0-0). The only victory in this campaign was secured at home against Nizhny 2-0.

Striker Evgeni Markov has been the top contributor on the roster so far, scoring three goals in his eight league appearances.

Fakel Team News

Fedor Kudryashov and Matvey Ivakhnov are injured.

Igor Kalinin is doubtful.

Rubin Kazan Form

Rubin Kazan are also in the relegation zone, being just one position ahead of Fakel after grabbing six points from eight matches.

They have the worst defense in the league, conceding a total of 18 goals. So far, form in September has been poor, losing back to back games to Nizhny 2-1 and Zenit 3-0.

R much better in mid-August when Rubin Kazan defeated the table leaders Krylya Sovetov 2-1 and drew against Dinamo Moscow 2-2.

Darko Jevtic is ruled out for this match due to injury.

Maciej Rybus and Aleksandr Lomovitskiy are doubtful.

This is a clash of two last-placed team in the Russian Premier League. Fakel have problems scoring at home and are set for another draw. Under 2.5 goals is also tipped.
