CSKA is having a modest season by its standards. A year earlier, the Muscovites also looked unimpressive before the winter break, but they got in great shape, allowing them to become vice-champions of the country and win the FONBET Cup of Russia. Now, they have to look forward to an improved performance after the break, as they currently sit only sixth in the standings. In the last 12 meetings, they have only three wins, but they lost only twice, both in the derby against Dynamo - 1:2 and 2:3. The rest of the games ended in a draw. The Muscovites and Rostov failed to find a winner in the first meeting of the Cup final on the RPL road - 1:1.

Rostov also can not bookmark the first part of the current season. If the Southerners claimed the honors of the Russian championship a year earlier, they have long been located near the departure zone. In the last five rounds, they suffered only one defeat from Spartak - 1:2, draw with Orenburg 1:1, while they managed to beat Akhmat - 3:0, Lokomotiv - 1:0, Pari NN - 1:0. This breakthrough allowed the Yellow-Blue to climb to the tenth line in the Premier League standings. In addition, they have already reached the quarter-final of the RPL Way in the FONBET Cup of Russia, where they drew with CSKA 1:1 in the first game.

Rostov has been playing very hard against the capital clubs in Moscow lately. Matches against CSKA are no exception. In the last three head-to-head meetings at the VEB Arena, the South lost with a total score of 1:10. Now Vladimir Fedotov's wards are the favorites of the confrontation. The team has won four of their last five matches at home, while the Yellow-Blue play mediocre away games, having suffered three defeats and one draw in their previous four games. All the statistics are in favor of the Muscovites.

CSKA and Rostov have been very active in goal lately. In 11 previous head-to-head meetings, the rivals have combined to score 39 goals (3.55 per game on average). They play particularly well in their home walls, scoring ten goals (3.33 per game on average) in the last three friendlies.
