- Neftekhimik currently rank 14th (with 6 pts), versus Sochi at 5th on 10 pts.
- Both teams have no missing players.
- We're predicting Neftekhimik to deploy a four-at-the-back 4-3-3, and Sochi are expected to line up in 3-4-3.
- Both teams are coming from different results: Neftekhimik fell 0-2 against Shinnik, while Sochi prevailed 1-0 over Volga Ulyanovsk.

- Dominance for Neftekhimik: across 8 clashes, they've won 4 games and only lost 3 games to Sochi, with 1 stalemates.
