🗞️ Team News: Dinamo Makhachkala

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Dinamo Makhachkala gaffer Khasanbi Bidzhiyev to contend with from an otherwise complete group of players. Aleksandr Sandrachuk (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.

It’s our opinion that Dinamo Makhachkala could employ a 5-4-1 formation and select Timur Magomedov, Mohamed Azzi, Idar Shumakhov, Valentin Paltsev, Jemal Tabidze, Temirkan Sundukov, Kirill Zinovich, A. Dzhabrailov, Houssem Mrezigue, Egas Cacintura and Gamid Agalarov.

🗞️ Team News: Zenit St Petersburg

We are inclined to think that Sine-Belo-Golubye will likely utilise a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Evgeni Latyshonok, Gustavo Mantuan, Strahinja Erakovic, Nino, Douglas Santos, Saša Zdjelar, Wendel, Luiz Henrique, Maksim Glushenkov, Aleksandr Sobolev and Pedro.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment is that Dinamo Makhachkala have it in them to score against this Zenit St Petersburg lineup, but a single goal is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

Our selection here is for a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Zenit St Petersburg when the full-time whistle blows. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
