Samara risks being eliminated from the list of contenders for the spring continuation. The team players Platonov and Kardanakhishvili were injured, and without them it is difficult to demonstrate a successful game. Samara continues to suffer losses and loses positions in the tournament table.
It is worth adding that the team has not won for 1.5 months. The last time they managed to win was in early December, in a home match with Lokomotiv-Kuban. After that, Samara had an 8-match losing streak. It will be difficult to break it, because they will not play with an optimal lineup.
