Rotor will play against Volga at Volgograd Arena on October 10 at 17.00

At 17.00, the match of the 13th round of the First League starts at Volgograd Arena - Rotor will meet with Volga Ulyanovsk.

The break in the championship was associated with the games of national and youth teams, but the calendar for a number of teams was not on pause. So, “Volga” managed to hold two postponed duels: September 26 lost to “Leningradets”, and October 4 unexpectedly took over “Veles” away – 2: 1.

Now the wards of Alexander Grishchenko are located on the 13th line, having 14 points in the asset. Rotor is ahead of the opponent by 3 points and takes 8th place. For Volgograders, the upcoming meeting is especially important: the victory will reduce the gap from the leading group, and a misfire will further complicate the tournament prospects.

Coach “blue and blue” Dmitry Parfenov will face a personnel problem: because of the disqualification will not play Emerson. In the center of defense, his place next to captain Alexander Kleshchenko can be taken by Nikolai Pokidyshev or Yegor Danilkin, who returned to service after an injury.

Most likely, the owners will keep the usual 4-3-3 scheme. In the attack, Parfenov has a rich choice of performers - this gives space for tactical variations.

Recall that the previous meeting of rivals at the Volgograd Arena on April 26 ended in a goalless draw - 0: 0.

To monitor the justice of decisions on the field will be the referee from the capital Kirill Garafutdinov.
