Khimki looked great for most of last season. The team was even going to join the European Cup, but this goal was never achieved. IF we take the Russian championship 2021/22, their results so far leave much to be desired. The club from the Moscow Region has won only one of four games. Besides, Khimki has lost to Sochi and Zenit and also had a draw in the game with Rostov. Rubin previously played in the Conference League but did not meet the expectations. Now Leonid Slutsky's team is focused exclusively on the RPL, where things are going very well. After three consecutive victories over Spartak, Arsenal and Akhmat, a draw with the Krylya Sovetov followed. Khimki should be ready for the upcoming match. Recent games have shown that Rubin has problems that the opponent may well take advantage of. The Moscow Region team should please its fans and not lose at home.
