Arsenal took victory in a difficult first round match against newcomer Tekstilshchik at the start of the championship and showed the full depth of the squad. This result will be useful over a long distance, as the club has the opportunity to fight for promotion and return Tula to the RPL. The gunsmiths lost the game 0:1, turned the game around in the second half and scored three points – 2:1 in the end. Dmitry Gunko's team is a fighting team, and it will be extremely difficult for their opponents in games with the Gunners.
Petrochemist Robert Evdokimov, who led the team, was unable to defeat debutant Velez in the first round match. A 0-1 defeat suggests that after Kirill Novikov left the post of head coach, the team became compliant, and a number of key players left the Nizhnekamsk club, and heavy losses in attack can lead to a scoring drought. Let's see if the team remains a strong midlander of the First League or will fight for survival.
It is clear that Arsenal will try to win, and the coaching staff would not like to lose points in a home game with a weaker opponent. The guests are in crisis and showing unsatisfactory results (one win in the last eight games), which the Tula Gunners intend to take advantage of. Also on the side of the gunsmiths is the factor of their field and the support of the fans. We are betting that the hosts will win a landslide victory, using the experience and depth of the squad.
