ടെക്സ്റ്റിൽഷ്ചിക് vs എഫ്‌കെ സോച്ചി

Tekstilshtik host Sochi on 24 October with the two clubs at opposite ends of the First League table. The hosts are 18th with 7 points from 13 games, while the visitors sit second on 29 points from 14. Sochi are playing in the second tier after failing to stay in the Russian Premier League last season, and Igor Osinkin remains in charge. They have kept the pressure on the top of the table with a 1-0 home win over Ufa, followed by a 1-0 win at Rotor. Tekstilshtik lost 2-0 to Shinnik on 10 October and were due to face Chelyabinsk on 18 October, so their latest result is not yet known. Our sources gave no head-to-head record for this pairing, and it is too early to talk about team news. Our prediction: 0-2
