Sibir are sitting nicely at the top few spots of the Russian Division one and they really have to contribute that to their mean defence who have shipped in one of the fewest goals in the league thus far. However, last week's lost to close rivals Shinnik was their first of the season and they will be hoping to go back on the winning track.

Vityaz last three games have strangely all ended in nil-nil draws and that has not been the first time this term that they have been involved in mundane draws. In accumulation, six draws have been recorded by them so far and only one defeat on their loss column but their opponent today will give them a much harder task compared to their usual opponents.

Coincidentally, when Vityaz faced their last toughest opponent in KamAz, they were bullied aside 3-1 and that could be a reminiscent scenario today when a more than determined home side will be setting out their objectives early in the game.
