📋 Team News: Spartak Moscow

We think that Narodnaya komanda could use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Ilya Pomazun, Daniil Denisov, Ruslan Litvinov, Srdjan Babic, Oleg Reabciuk, Nail Umyarov, C. Martins Pereira, Theo Bongonda, Esequiel Barco, Marquinhos and Manfred Ugalde.

📰 Team News: CSKA Moscow

Owing to an otherwise available group, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the CSKA Moscow gaffer Marko Nikolić to be concerned about. Rodrigo Villagra (Fitness) won’t be in action.

From our viewpoint, Armeytsy will likely elect for a 4-4-2 lineup using Igor Akinfeev, Milan Gajic, Igor Diveev, Willyan Rocha, Moisés, Ivan Oblyakov, Matvey Kislyak, Kirill Glebov, Kristijan Bistrovic, Tamerlan Musaev and Sekou Koita.

💭 Prediction

In this match, CSKA Moscow should be able to score a goal against this Spartak Moscow team, although that is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our tip is for a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Spartak Moscow after the 90. It should be a decent one.
