Team News: Orenburg
Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Orenburg manager Ildar Akhmetzyanov to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Aleksey Tataev (unknown injury) misses out.
It seems likely that Orenburg look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, utilising Bogdan Ovsyannikov, Stanislav Poroykov, Jhon Alex Palacios, Danila Khotulev, Danila Vedernikov, Ruslan Kul, Evgeny Bolotov, Jordhy Thompson, Renat Golybin, Dmitriy Rybchinskiy and Gedeon Guzina.
📰
Team News: FC Rostov
From our viewpoint, FC Rostov seem most likely to elect for a 5-4-1 system using Rustam Yatimov, Andrey Langovich, Viktor Melekhin, David Semenchuk, Oumar Sako, Ygor Nogueira, Yaroslav Mikhailov, Aleksey Mironov, Ivan Komarov, Mohammad Mohebi and Timur Suleymanov.
🧠
Prediction
We feel that FC Rostov and Orenburg could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. Our tip is therefore for a tight encounter with a score draw at the end of the match.
