Amkar Perm’ is playing some superb Football but Rubin Kazan’s manager Kurban Berdyyev has this squad playing near perfectly and I expect the league leaders to continue their pace today. Gökdeniz Karadeniz,McBeth Sibaya and Aleksandr Bukharov are playing inspired Football but will need to reverse Kazan’s modest away record. Don’t miss this great match that gets going in less-than one hour. I will be reporting on it once it concludes.
