Mordovia is fighting against relegation, while Rostov is fighting for the title. Rostov is the team with the best defence. Their secret is organisation. Their coach is very good, Berdiyev, the guy that won the title with Rubin Kazan in 2008 or 2009, can't  remember. 

Mordovia will not miss any players. Rostov will also not miss any players. The hosts have some problems, their salaries have not been paid, and they skipped some trainings this week. Also they are very pessimistic about staying up in the league, because they are rock bottom, and their schedule is very hard. In their last 5 games, they will play 3 teams that are currently in the top 5, Rostov, Zenit and Lokomotiv Moscow. They won just 2 games all season, and i don't see a turn in their season today.

There are some issues, for example Rostov has too many players in midfield, and last round, Gatcan the captain was absent, so Kanga, Erokhin and Noboa all played. And all of them played well. But today, 1 of them will have to drop to the bench, and it's a shame, because Rostov's 3-0 win over Zenit was their best game all season.
