In Moscow, TSKA won 3-0 the last match with Kazan, in March 2019.
TSKA Moscow does not have the best season in the Russian Premier League, but comes behind with three consecutive victories without a goal conceded, reaching 4 consecutive stages with the goal intact. The group coached by Viktor Goncharenko has 46 points in the ranking of the domestic season, occupies the 3rd place, 19 points away from the leader Zenit and has a goal difference of 14-13 in the matches played at home. In the disputes with Kazan played in Moscow, the “red-blues” did not concede a goal in 4 of the previous 5.
Kazan is the former double champion of Russia (2008 and 2009), but in the last decade she does not manage to pass the middle of the ranking. This season, the team prepared by Leonid Slutsky is on the 9th place in the ranking, with 33 points, with 6 points over Samara, which is in a retrograde position. Slutsky has won TSKA trophies and may be the right man to rebuild Kazan, and is now returning to Moscow as an opponent. In the trips from Russia, Rubin has a ranking line with 3 successes, 7 draws and 4 defeats, at a goal difference of 9-14.
