KAMAZ will be looking to continue their winning streak at home, buoyed by recent victories against Chayka and Ufa.

Spartak Kostroma, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back from their draw against Arsenal Tula. With Pantelić orchestrating the midfield, they’ll aim to exploit any gaps in KAMAZ’s backline. The absence of Maksim Chikanchi due to suspension might test their depth, but their recent form suggests they can still pose a threat.Spartak Kostroma, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back from their draw against Arsenal Tula.
