Team News: Dinamo Makhachkala
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Dinamo Makhachkala boss Khasanbi Bidzhiyev to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Aleksandr Sandrachuk (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.
In our view, Dinamo Makhachkala will probably kick off with a 3-4-2-1 formation for this game featuring David Volk, Valentin Paltsev, Mutalip Alibekov, Idar Shumakhov, Soslan Kagermazov, Houssem Mrezigue, Nikita Glushkov, Jan Dapo, Egas Cacintura, Serder Serderov and Gamid Agalarov.
ℹ️
Team News: Lokomotiv Moscow
We’re of the thinking that Loko seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Ilya Lantratov, Maksim Nenakhov, Gerzino Nyamsi, Cesar Montes, Aleksandr Silyanov, Vladislav Sarveli, Dmitri Barinov, Edgar Sevikyan, Aleksey Batrakov, Sergey Pinyaev and Dmitri Vorobyev.
🔮
Prediction
Our thinking is that Dinamo Makhachkala will have to work hard as a team to score goals against this Lokomotiv Moscow outfit who we reckon will emerge victorious.
We’re therefore predicting a very even match with a 0-1 advantage for Lokomotiv Moscow when the referee blows for full-time.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
