ℹ️ Team News: Nizhny Novgorod

We are thinking that Nizhny Novgorod will possibly line up in a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Vadim Lukyanov, Aleksandr Ektov, Kiril Gotsuk, Viktor Aleksandrov, Sven Karic, A. Troshechkin, Nikita Kakkoev, Ilya Agapov, Nikita Ermakov, Vyacheslav Grulev and Juan Manuel Boselli.

📋 Team News: Dynamo Moscow

Thanks to a mainly available group of players, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Dynamo Moscow gaffer Marcel Lička to be concerned about. Konstantin Tyukavin (Partial damage to the cruciate ligament) won’t be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Dinamiki might make use of a 4-5-1 system using Andrey Lunev, Juan Caceres, Fabian Balbuena, Aleksandr Kutitsky, Eliazer Dasa, Egor Smelov, Jorge Carrascal, Dmitriy Aleksandrov, Arthur, Bitello and El Mehdi Maouboub.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Nizhny Novgorod may well find it hard to register a score against this Dynamo Moscow lineup who we reckon will get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore tipping a highly competitive game with a 0-1 win for Dynamo Moscow when the full-time whistle blows.
