The match will also mark the third time Stanislav Cherchesov and Vadim Evseev have faced each other.

 

Their first encounter came as players in 2002. On 12 September 2002, Lokomotiv Moscow and Spartak Moscow drew 1–1, with both Cherchesov and Evseev playing the full 90 minutes. Their second meeting came as coaches in the aforementioned Caucasus derby in May this year.

 

Cherchesov and Evseev were also briefly teammates at Spartak Moscow in 1993, although Evseev was playing for the club’s youth team at the time.

 

They also represented the Russian national team together and both took part in the same friendly match on 10 February 1999, when Russia “Blues” defeated Russia “Whites” 4–3 after leading 1–0 at half-time. Evseev played the full 90 minutes for the Whites, while Cherchesov played the first half for the Blues before switching to the Whites for the second half.
