Vitaliy Vicent's side is a mid-table team in the Second League. In their group, the team is in 7th place, trailing the leader by 32 points. It's important to note Leon Saturn's defensive issues. The club has conceded 31 goals, with only four teams having a worse record. The team has kept a clean sheet in only one of their last 13 league matches. In the national cup, Leon Saturn has conceded at least twice in 4 of their last 5 home games.
Before the previous round, the media team made headlines by signing Fyodor Smolov. In the upcoming game, the squad will be bolstered by Ari. The forward recently retired, having scored 66 goals in the Russian Premier League. It's unlikely the player has lost his skills in such a short time. In this season's Russian Cup, Dmitry Kuznetsov's team has already scored 5 goals. The food poisoning incident might affect the team's functional state, but the Broke Boys president stated that the team is recovering. Meanwhile, Ari and Smolov were not on the trip and have been preparing for the match with good understanding from their time at Krasnodar.
