Looks like there’s a couple of decent nuggets to chew over before the CSKA‑Rostov clash – a recent high‑scoring win and a cup tie that might still be on the back‑burner.

Rostov’s recent goal‑fest
Rostov rattled off four goals in a 2-4 victory over Rodina Moscow on July 31, showing they can find the net in spades when the go‑ahead comes. That kind of firepower could be a nasty surprise for CSKA’s defence if they carry the momentum forward.

Cup clash on the books
Transfermarkt lists a Russian Cup tie where Akron Tolyatti face FC Rostov on August 4 – a reminder that Rostov have extra fixtures to juggle, which might stretch their squad ahead of the league meeting with CSKA.
