Krasnodar continues to rush towards the first championship in the club's history. The Bulls have played the first third of the current season almost perfectly. In ten meetings, they won seven victories with three draws, and the Black-and-Greens had a great chance to win even in games with lost points, but it was either the realization or Anton Miranchuk with a shot in the 98th minute. Nevertheless, the Southerners are leading the Premier League standings, three points ahead of their nearest pursuer. In addition, they beat Pari NN 3:0 in the FONBET Cup of Russia this week, which allowed them to retain third place in Group D and secure a playoff spot in the tournament.

The current season is going poorly for Rostov. If the Yellow-Blues had scored too many points a year earlier, achieving positive results even in games where they hardly deserved it, now the picture is quite the opposite. In the ten starting rounds, the Southerners have only two wins, beating Fakel and Rubin 2:1 and 3:0, respectively. Four more times, there were draws, and in four cases, they lost at all. Especially disappointing were the games against Baltika and CSKA, when Valeri Karpin's wards led by two goals but lost the advantage - 2:2 and 3:3, respectively. This week, Rostov also lost to Lokomotiv 1:3 in the FONBET Cup of Russia, dropping to third place in Group B.

Krasnodar and Rostov give out bright and intriguing face-to-face battles, but the Bulls are clear favorites in the upcoming confrontation. Vladimir Ivic's side are serious contenders for the league title this season and, therefore, have no right to lose points in a home game against the 12th team in the Premier League. Moreover, in five matches on their home field in the current championship, the Black and Greens have scored 13 out of 15 possible points, and the only mistake was in the battle with Lokomotiv, conceding in the 98th minute - 1:1. In their current form, the Yellow-Blues can hardly claim points.

In the current season, Krasnodar plays extremely pragmatically, and therefore, productive matches in the performance of the Bulls are extremely rare. The upcoming battle with Rostov is a case where the performance can be solid. It's all about the fact that the Yellow-Blues are abysmal on defense, but they're not bad on offense. In the last seven matches, Valeriy Karpin's men have scored 26 goals (3.71 per game on average), and in all seven battles, there was an exchange of goals.
