Match Preview
In this Russian Cup fixture, Volgar Astrakhan will host Chertanovo at the Central'nyj Stadion Astrakhan'gazprom on Wednesday, 20 August. Volgar comes into the match in solid form, having recorded three wins and two draws in their last five outings. Their recent performances suggest a strong home advantage, especially given their historical dominance over Chertanovo, with two wins and a draw in their last three encounters.
On the other hand, Chertanovo has struggled lately, managing only two wins in their last five matches, accompanied by three losses. This inconsistency could be a significant factor, particularly as they face a Volgar side that thrives at home. Additionally, with only one of their last ten head-to-head matches exceeding two goals, it could indicate a tightly contested affair. As both teams vie for progression in the cup, Volgar will likely look to leverage their home advantage and recent form to secure a victory.
