ℹ️ Team News: FC Khimki

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the FC Khimki gaffer Franc Artiga to contend with from a near full-strength set of players. Diego Luna (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

It seems likely that FC Khimki could use the 4-1-4-1 formation for this one with Nikita Kokarev, Zelimkhan Bakaev, Aleksandr Filin, Danil Stepanov, Petar Golubovic, Robert Mejia, Edgardo Farina, Alex Corredera, Aleksadr Rudenko, Iliya Berkovskiy and Anton Zabolotny.

📋 Team News: Terek Grozny

There’s a good chance that The Wolves might elect for a 4-4-2 formation with a starting lineup of Giorgi Shelia, Daniil Utkin, Ismael Silva Lima, Lechii Sadulaev, Amine Talal, Arsen Adamov, Turpal-Ali Ibishev, Darko Todorovic, Nader Ghandri, Georgi Melkadze and Maxim Samorodov.

⚡ Prediction

It’s looking like Terek Grozny and FC Khimki should both be able to find the back of the net at least once here although it’s difficult at this stage to select a clear winner.

Let’s see how it plays out, but we expect to see goals and there is to be a real possibility it will end up level. That is why we are leaning toward a very competitive encounter with a 2-2 score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
