During the winter, Tambov was very close to not restarting the championship; the club faced a financial crisis; the players did not get salaries for six months. The training camp Tambov started with five players, and only with the help of the other Premier League clubs who sent youth on loan managed to collect squad. The team is still at the bottom and considered as the main contender for relegation. Previously, Tambov already relegated from the Cup and lost in the championship to Dynamo and Rotor. The next opponent is Krasnodar, who restarted the season disastrously, with no wins, relegation from to cups; Russian Cup and Europe League, in the RPL the team did not do better, played a draw against Ural and was destroyed by Spartak Moscow 1-6. Krasnodar has enormous problems in all lines, especially in defence. If the “bulls” do not win the upcoming fight, Musaev will most likely be fired. However, the sensation is unlikely to happen. Krasnodar is now in bad shape, but what about Tambov, which is on the brink of survival? In the best case, the hosts will hold out for one half. If the teams do not force the events, no more than one goal will be scored before the break.
