Soslan Kagermazov (Muscle injury) and Aleksandr Sandrachuk (Cruciate ligament tear) are unavailable for Dinamo Makhachkala boss Khasanbi Bidzhiyev.

Team News: FC Rostov
Thanks to a mainly full-strength group, there’s only a single fitness worry for the FC Rostov boss Jonatan Alba to be concerned with. Eyad El Askalany (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that FC Rostov might elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, starting Daniil Odoevskiy, Andrey Langovich, Oumar Sako, Maksim Radchenko, German Ignatov, Anton Shamonin, Konstantin Kuchaev, Imran Aznaurov, Aleksey Koltakov, Aleksey Sutormin and Khoren Bayramyan.

Prediction
We’re thinking that FC Rostov are capable enough to find the net against this Dinamo Makhachkala outfit, however that may not be enough to avoid a loss.
We are anticipating a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Dinamo Makhachkala after 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
