Rubin Kazan visit the VEB Arena on Monday in the Russian Premier League to face CSKA Moscow, looking to leapfrog them on the table.
The sides are currently separated by just a point on the table, with Moscow in eighth on 38 points, and Kazan right behind them in ninth with 37 points.
A victory for the visitors would mean the Red-Greens jumping into eighth place and they will be confident of their chances, given Moscow's struggles right now.
The Horses are winless in their last four league matches, including two defeats. Baltika inflicted a 3-1 loss on the side in their latest outing, as Moscow's form has gone off the boil lately.

During this run, the Red-Greens also caused a real surprise with a 2-0 win away to leaders Zenit St. Petersburg, who are currently competing for the league title with Krasnodar.

Rubin Kazan may have a better record against CSKA Moscow but given their overall form right now, it's hard to see a winner here.
Moscow are winless in their last four league games, whereas Kazan have won just once from their last five. We don't expect goalmouth action here, like in their recent meetings, and this should end in a draw.
