🗞️ Team News: Dinamo Makhachkala

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Dinamo Makhachkala manager Khasanbi Bidzhiyev to be concerned with from a near full-strength group of players. Aleksandr Sandrachuk (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.

We think that Dinamo Makhachkala may well use the 5-4-1 system in the match, utilising Timur Magomedov, Mohamed Azzi, Idar Shumakhov, Valentin Paltsev, Jemal Tabidze, Temirkan Sundukov, Kirill Zinovich, A. Dzhabrailov, Houssem Mrezigue, Egas Cacintura and Gamid Agalarov.

ℹ️ Team News: Zenit St Petersburg

There’s a good chance that Sine-Belo-Golubye might begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup 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.
