Нюрнберг был хорош в последней игре, в гостях против Фрайбурга, и заслуженно выиграл тот матч. Дома команда играет достаточно мощно, поэтому другого исхода, кроме как победы Нюрнберга тут не вижу.

My hope is live that these meeting can turn out enough interesting. It is connected first of all with inhabitants of Khimki whom superiority on first two rounds were pleasant. For a team collected in pre-season period with "to the world on a thread", versus such strong contenders - Locomotive (1:1) and Dynamo (2:3) - wards of Sarsaniya looked absolutely not bad. It is pleasant that on the account of football players situated near Moscow already three goals in two matches so there is enough high probability that in games with similar owners of "Arena Khimki" will play from themselves and on a victory, preaching attacking football. Actually, the first possibility will check up already tonight.
What about Rostov Oleg Dolmatov's wards in games with same Locomotive (1:1) and Amkar" (0:0) could extract in the coin box even two points, moreover, in a match with "railwaymen" have missed a victory on the latest seconds. Considering that team from Perm following the results of the last year's championship adjoin with Dynamo, it is possible to assert that southerners have achieved on superiority start even more impressive in comparison with inhabitants of Khimki of results. However in a case with Rostov the situation is a bit other: the matter is that such team - powerful, capable to fight till last minutes, knowing strong and weaknesses and strong standing on the feet in respect of tournament ambitions – from Oleg Dolmatov all also waited, that is why the effect made by game of Rostov in first two matches, hardly is less notable in comparison with Khimki. To speak in a case with Rostov, in general, yet about what. And so it is clear that the basic rate of southerners will become on home games, away from them it is necessary to wait, first of all, for confident game in defence and quick counterattacks during the moments of any misses of the opponent.
All those players of a team of Sarsaniya, who have left on the eve of Khimki’s derby, have recovered and can play with Rostov. In an infirmary of owners there is only Samsonov which returning in the field will take place still at a distant day. Visitors have one, but notable loss: because of the injure of a finger received in game with Locomotive, the basic goalkeeper - Gerus in Khimki will not play.
As to statistics of internal meetings it is possible to notice that in Premier League Khimki and Rostov met twice, there was it in a season of 2007 year. In native walls inhabitants of Khimki have got the best 1:0, away have achieved a drawn game 1:1. As there will be a next duel of contenders, it is absolutely impossible to foresee, however it would be desirable, that it became an ornament of Friday’s evening.
