Tactical analysis

Traktor has won two of the three previous meetings with Neftekhimik this season and comes in as a favorite. Grishin's team is not in its best shape; In the last five games they have only achieved one victory, precisely against Admiral. In addition, the home team returns just two days after a long trip to the Far East, which may affect its acclimatization and performance.

For his part, Traktor has seen goalkeeper Nikolaev in good form, while the rest of the team shows superiority in skills over Neftekhimik, especially in offensive lines and game control. This suggests that an away victory is the safest option, although the match will probably be close and with less than five goals in total.
