Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s only the one fitness worry for the FC Krasnodar gaffer Murad Musayev to contend with. Daniil Golikov (Leg injury) misses out for this game.

Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Dinamo Makhachkala will need to push hard to register a score against this FC Krasnodar outfit who we think will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
We’re therefore tipping a 0-1 winning score for FC Krasnodar at the end of this one.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
