📋 Team News: Rubin Kazan

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Rubin Kazan manager Rashid Rakhimov to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Bogdan Jocic (Muscle injury) is out of contention.

In all likelihood, Tatáry look set to go for a 5-3-2 formation this time featuring Evgeniy Staver, Dmitriy Kabutov, Egor Teslenko, Igor Vujacic, Aleksey Gritsaenko, Ilya Rozhkov, Valentin Vada, Ugochukwu Iwu, Veldin Hodza, Mirlind Daku and Dardan Shabanhaxhaj.

🗞️ Team News: FC Rostov

Out of a mainly healthy squad, there is only the one fitness problem for the FC Rostov manager Jonatan Alba to be concerned about. Eyad El Askalany (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

We believe FC Rostov might begin the game with a 4-3-3 system using Rustam Yatimov, Andrey Langovich, Oumar Sako, Maksim Osipenko, Ilya Vakhania, Ivan Komarov, Daniil Shantaliy, Kirill Shchetinin, Ronaldo Soares, Nikolay Komlichenko and Egor Golenkov.

⚡ Prediction

In this match, FC Rostov have the firepower to break down this Rubin Kazan team, however it possibly won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 win for Rubin Kazan when the full-time whistle blows. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
