📋 Team News: Rubin Kazan

Anderson Arroyo (Muscle injury) and Uros Drezgic (Cruciate ligament tear) are unavailable for Rubin Kazan gaffer Franc Artiga.

It’s our opinion that Tatáry should use a 3-4-1-2 system for the game, handing starts to Evgeniy Staver, Nikita Lobov, Igor Vujacic, Egor Teslenko, Dmitriy Kabutov, Veldin Hodza, Bogdan Jocic, Ilya Rozhkov, Ruslan Bezrukov, Mirlind Daku and Jacques Siwe.

📋 Team News: FC Krasnodar

FC Krasnodar boss Murad Musayev has to choose a team with limited availability. Jhon Córdoba (Ankle injury), Grigoriy Lovtsov (Foot injury) and Kazbek Mukailov (unknown injury) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that Byki appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Stanislav Agkatsev, Valentin Paltsev, Vítor Tormena, Diego Costa, Lucas Olaza, Kevin Lenini, Aleksandr Chernikov, Joao Batxi, Moses David Cobnan, Nikita Krivtsov and Jhon Cordoba.

⚡ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Rubin Kazan will have their work cut out to register a score against this FC Krasnodar lineup who will likely be able to grind out a win.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 0-1 win for FC Krasnodar after 90 minutes.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
