These two teams have met in the past, but this time the situation is different, as Chelyabinsk are in a poor run of form, losing 3 of their last 5 matches, with 2 heavy defeats (1-4, 0-4). Meanwhile, Sochi have won 4 in a row, but each win was by a single goal (2-1, 1-0, 2-1, 3-2), reflecting that their defense is not solid enough to keep a clean sheet. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how Chelyabinsk's defense copes with Sochi's attacking momentum in the latter stages, as Sochi have scored 27% of their total goals in the last 30 matches during the 76-90 minute period.
