Both sides land at Megasport Arena on October 2 searching for a response after costly defeats. Spartak Moscow are winless in their last three and have conceded four goals in each of their last two home outings; Metallurg Magnitogorsk had won back-to-back games before a heavy loss in Shanghai. The history book favours the visitors, yet Spartak captured the most recent meeting in mid-September. A Moscow crowd gets a matchup where recent form and head-to-head history point in opposite directions.

Watchlist
  • Spartak's skid — three straight defeats, including a 2-4 home loss to Traktor Chelyabinsk on September 30, with four goals conceded in each of the last two.
  • Metallurg's response — a 4-1 defeat in Shanghai snapped a two-game winning run that featured a 5-1 rout of Avangard Omsk.
  • The margin — 5 of the last 8 meetings were decided by two goals or fewer, so tight scorelines have been the norm here.
