Head-to-head statistics Rubin Kazan - Fakel

Rubin Kazan Team Overview
📌 In the spring phase of the championship, Rubin have won all their home matches. Impressively, they defeated not only Spartak but also Lokomotiv. However, their away form has been much less convincing, earning just one point from four matches. Discipline has been an issue on the road, with three consecutive away games featuring red cards.
🔗 In the last round, Rubin fell to Dynamo Moscow at the VTB Arena (1-3). They conceded midway through the first half, but their response was swift as Bezrukov found the net. However, it was the "White-Blues" who continued to score, even though they didn't create many clear-cut chances. Towards the end, Mirlin Daku was sent off for two yellow cards. Due to inappropriate behavior, he might face a suspension longer than one match.

Fakel Voronezh Team Overview
🔵 Fakel last tasted victory in October. Their winless streak has now stretched to 13 matches. More concerning is their inability to score, as they have failed to find the net in nine consecutive rounds. In the spring segment of the championship, they managed to secure just one point from a draw with Akhmat (0-0). This came under Igor Shalimov, who took over from Dmitry Pyatibratov as head coach.
🔗 Fakel's performance has improved, but results remain elusive. In the last round, they fell to Rostov (0-2), yet they dominated possession and registered 25 shots on goal. Eight of those were on target. It's no surprise then that Rostov's goalkeeper, who came off the bench and made six saves in just half an hour, was named the man of the match.

Latest news
Rubin Kazan
📣 Rubin's forward Nikola Čumić believes the Kazan side didn't deserve the loss against Dynamo Moscow: "A draw against Dynamo would have been a more fair result. We had plenty of chances, especially in the first half. After the break, I scored but it was ruled out for offside, and Daku had a chance too. We didn't deserve to lose. But that's football; we move on. Rubin's main issue against Dynamo was finishing. We had three clear-cut chances."
❌ In the match against Dynamo Moscow, Bogdan Jokic and Dardan Shabanhaxhaj sustained injuries, making them unlikely to play against Fakel. However, the biggest setback will be the suspension of Merlind Daku, who is a key figure in Rubin's attack.
Fakel Voronezh
📣 Igor Shalimov believes goals must be earned: “As I said before the game, we need to earn the right to score a goal, not through skill alone but sometimes just through luck... Today, we don't have major issues with the team because they showed character, applied pressure, took shots, and had corners... We supported the guys. I won't say everything is perfect, but we stood by them. We move forward.”
❌ In the match against Rostov, Dylan Mertens picked up an unnecessary yellow card, which means he will miss the game against Rubin due to suspension.
