📋 Team News: Lokomotiv Moscow

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Lokomotiv Moscow gaffer Mikhail Galaktionov to contend with due to a largely intact group. Ilya Samoshnikov (Injury to the ankle) will miss out.

In all likelihood, Loko may well employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Anton Mitryushkin, Maksim Nenakhov, Cesar Montes, Egor Pogostnov, Lucas Fasson, Dmitri Barinov, Artem Karpukas, Vadim Rakov, Aleksey Batrakov, Sergey Pinyaev and Dmitri Vorobyev.

📰 Team News: CSKA Moscow

In an otherwise full-strength group of players, there is just a single fitness worry for the CSKA Moscow manager Marko Nikolić to be concerned about. Rodrigo Villagra (Fitness) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that Armeytsy might utilise a 4-4-2 formation, starting the game with Igor Akinfeev, Milan Gajic, D. Abdulkadyrov, Willyan Rocha, Danil Krugovoy, Ivan Oblyakov, Matvey Kislyak, Miralem Pjanic, Abbosbek Fayzullaev, Kirill Glebov and Tamerlan Musaev.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow could both find goals hard to come by here.

It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore expecting a tight encounter, finishing with a 0-0 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
