Rubin pleasantly surprised its' fans at the beginning of the second part of the 2020/21 season. The victories over Spartak and Zenit were especially spectacular. In the 22nd round of the Russian championship, Leonid Slutsky's men also defeated Ufa. Will Rubin manage to continue the winning streak? Before the start of the season, many predicted that Khimki would struggle for survival. However, the Moscow Region club has noticeably changed with the arrival of Igor Cherevchenko. Now the team is on 10th place in the standings, but there are good chances of climbing even higher. Prior to that, Khimki won Rostov at home. The match was somewhat spoiled by a controversial episode involving striker Sow, whose goal was canceled for some unknown reason after the intervention of VAR. How will Khimki play in Kazan? Rubin gained a fantastic fit, but Leonid Slutsky's players cannot win all the time. Fatigue will take its toll sooner or later. At home they will have to play as the first number, and this may cause problems. Khimki is a very efficient team right now. Most likely, there will be no open football in Kazan. Teams will not score more than two goals in 90 minutes.
