Krylya Sovetov has had a great start to the current season. In the spring, they were fighting to stay in Russia's elite division when a win over Spartak in Week 30 allowed them to avoid the knockout rounds. After nine matches, Samara proudly sits second in the standings, only three points behind the leaders. The only defeat in the current championship they allowed in the battle with Rubin - 1:2, which is surprising. After all, Kazan is not as strong as before. Last weekend, Igor Osinkin's charges pragmatically beat Sochi 2:1, and the South had virtually no chance of success.

Spartak started the season even more briskly, beating Orenburg, Baltika, and Rubin by a combined score of 9:4. It was a pleasure to watch the Red-Whites play. They created plenty of dangerous chances while allowing their opponents to prove themselves. It seemed that they could even compete for the championship with this kind of football. Still, everything broke down overnight in the course of the game with Ural when they led to another victory - 2:1. But in the end, they managed to concede twice, losing - 2:3. After that, they failed to win in three consecutive rounds. However, in the last two meetings, they still beat Sochi and Dinamo 1:0 each, moving to fourth place in the standings.

Krylia Sovetov, at the end of the ninth round, turned into the main pursuer of Krasnodar in the fight for the championship. It all sounds unusual and funny at the moment, but success in the upcoming match against Spartak may turn the Volga team into real contenders for awards. Igor Osinkin's charges have all the preconditions for that: they haven't lost a single point in their last four home games in the Premier League, while the Red and Whites are playing hard in Samara, having lost two previous head-to-head meetings in a row.

The rivalry between Krylia Sovetov and Spartak has been very effective in recent years. In the previous 12 head-to-head meetings, the rivals have combined for 36 goals (3.00 per game on average). Moreover, in the current season, Samara has scored and conceded 33 goals in nine rounds (3.67 average per game), while their opponents have scored 26 goals (2.89 average per game) over a similar distance.
