Rotor Volgograd Preview – Can Rotor Volgograd survive?
After a 16-year hiatus, Rotor Volgograd have returned to the Russian Premier League but early results so far in this season’s campaign suggest that Wednesday’s hosts could be making a swift return to the FNL unless their performances improve.
Three defeats from their opening four matches of this new Premier League season was not the kind of start that Rotor Volgograd would have had in mind as they’ve slipped to losses against Zenit 2-0, Akhmat Grozny 3-1 and a 2-1 loss to Sochi.
Their one ‘highlight’ if you can call it this, was a point on the road in a 0-0 draw at Dinamo Moscow but it’s now 10 matches without a win in the Russian top flight for Volgograd and they have another tough fixture coming up this Wednesday against Spartak Moscow.
In addition, Rotor Volgograd have failed to beat Spartak Moscow in each of the last 17 meetings.
Spartak Moscow Preview – Can Spartak Moscow extend unbeaten start?
Wednesday’s visitors, Spartak Moscow, have continued where they left off at the end of last season in this new term as they’re unbeaten in their first four matches of this Premier League campaign, which includes wins against Akhmat Grozny and last season’s runners-up, Lokomotiv Moscow.
Spartak Moscow finished last season with back-to-back victories over Akhmat Grozny and Rubin Kazan and they look in solid shape again for this new season, scoring 2 goals in three of their first four matches this time around.
With just three defeats out of their last 10 matches on their travels in the Russian top flight, Spartak Moscow look to have enough about them to pick up the three points against an already beleaguered-looking Rotor Volgograd outfit, especially with their solid record against their hosts behind them.
