🗞️ Team News: Rubin Kazan

Ugochukwu Iwu (Muscle injury) and Aleksandar Jukic (Knee injury) will not be able to play for Rubin Kazan gaffer Rashid Rakhimov.

It’s our opinion that Tatáry will probably use the 5-3-2 formation for this game, utilising Evgeniy Staver, Dmitriy Kabutov, Egor Teslenko, Igor Vujacic, Aleksey Gritsaenko, Ilya Rozhkov, Valentin Vada, Veldin Hodza, Bogdan Jocic, Mirlind Daku and Dardan Shabanhaxhaj.

ℹ️ Team News: Orenburg

Orenburg boss Vladimir Slišković has to choose a team with limited availability. Gabriel Florentín (Cruciate ligament tear) and Bogdan Moskvichev (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

There’s a good chance that Orenburg will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Nikolay Sysuev, Georgiy Zotov, Danila Khotulev, Maksim Syshchenko, Maksim Sidorov, Ivan Basic, Danila Prokhin, Brian Mansilla, Dmitriy Rybchinskiy, Emircan Gurluk and Saeid Saharkhizan.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment here is that Orenburg may not find it easy to hit the back of the net against this Rubin Kazan lineup who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

That’s why our selection here is for a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Rubin Kazan when all is said and done.

Let’s see.
