matches.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">With only a game left to play before the winter break, Rostov will host FC Amkar Perm in a crunch home tie. As things stand, Rostov are at the tenth spot on the league table.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Russian outfit have lost just two matches in last 11 league games, conceding 11 goals and scoring 13 themselves.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Russian Football Union has introduced a third round in the league, which consists of two fixtures, despite knowing that extreme weather may ruin the pitches.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">However, the Croatian national is confident that the Selmashi can still prepare for the upcoming game in spite of the difficulties in conducting training sessions.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">“For three days we cannot conduct normal training, so we are limited to a normal war-up because the fields are not in the best condition. We hope that the weather condition will not stop us from winning though.” The 32-year-old
said.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The former Spartak Moscow player urged the fans to support them against the Asians despite the climatic conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">“I think that every fan will have to be issued a medal for attending the upcoming match.” Pletikosa joked.</p>
