📋 Team News: Fakel Voronezh

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Fakel Voronezh boss Igor Shalimov to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Maks Dziov (Broken fibula) won’t play.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Spartak Moscow have it within them to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

At the same time, Fakel Voronezh may well struggle scoring goals of their own but we think it’s quite likely that they will be being dangerous at times, too.

We’re tipping a comfortable 1-3 win for Spartak Moscow at the end of this one.
