Rodina vs. Neftekhimik: First League Match Forecast

Current form

The Moscow team is playing worse this season than last season, and the change of head coach has not led to anything better. Let see if Vladimir Beschatnykh can improve the game of his players after the winter break. It is worth noting striker Alexander Yushin, who scored eight goals and is the tournament top scorer. The team has won only one victory in the last 10 matches, beating Chaika (2:0), but also took points from clubs in the top four. The club rolled out draws with Ural (0:0) and Torpedo Moscow (1:1). Muscovites have recently started to show attacking football, but so far this has not affected the team results. With such a game, it will be extremely difficult for the team to get into the playoffs, which the management was counting on before the start of the season. As a result, Rodina scored 24 points and took 11th place in the standings.

Current form

The team failed to win again in the last game in the First League. Neftekhimik played away against Rotor and suffered its seventh defeat since the start of the championship. The Volgograd team beat the Nizhnekamsk team in all respects and deservedly won. The outcome of the meeting was decided by one goal scored in the middle of the first half. The game before, in the match with Tula Arsenal, a fighting draw was recorded (2:2). At the beginning of the season, the team showed a completely different game, was in the top three, but now the representative of Tatarstan looks like a solid mid-table team and is capable of providing due resistance to more experienced opponents. Kirill Novikov charges are on the 12th line in the tournament table, earned 23 points and have no tasks to get into the play-off matches and enter the Premier League.

Disqualifications and injuries

The injured Dzhamilov and Morozov will miss the game.

Approximate lineup : Yanovich, Kakhidze, Tolstopyatov, Shorkin, Sitdikov, Rodin, Denisov, Emelyanov, Shiltsov, Magomedov, Aliev.
