Current form
The Rostov club has a goal to compete in the knockout matches this season and is making every effort to reach the threshold of the 16 best teams in the league. However, it will not be easy for the team to do this, but there are theoretical chances and the players are motivated to do this and give 100% in every game. The Condors started the regular championship unsuccessfully, but were able to gain momentum, and significant changes are already noticeable compared to last season.
