"Volga"
The Ulyanovsk team at the start of the season in the First League is not stable. It is worth noting that Rinat Aitov's team is on the last line in the standings according to the results of 12 matches played. The home team has six points. The hosts are five points short of the saving 14th position. In the last round, Volga managed to snatch a goalless draw with SKA Khabarovsk. It is worth noting that the club's series without victories has already reached five meetings in a row.
"Ruby"
The Kazan team was considered one of the main contenders for promotion to the Premier League team. Leonid Slutsky's team does not justify the status of one of the favorites of the division yet, because it regularly misfires. At the moment, the Rubinovs are on the sixth line in the First League, three points behind the fourth KAMAZ. The gap from the leader in the person of "Alanya" is already six points. It is worth noting that during the last game, the team from Kazan lost in a face-to-face meeting to Arsenal Tula - 1:2.
