Interestingly, their upcoming opponent's defensive woes are even more pronounced.

Lada Team Overview
The club from the Samara region showed a slight resurgence with Pavel Desyatkov taking over as head coach, managing to secure points consecutively for the first time this season. However, talk of a full revival remains premature. Their away game series has been particularly challenging, suffering two consecutive defeats with an aggregate score of 1-9. This has starkly highlighted that the numerous issues plaguing the visitors have not been resolved. The brief period of success was merely attributed to the novelty effect brought by the new coaching staff, which quickly wore off.
