📋 Team News: Fakel Voronezh
Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Fakel Voronezh manager Igor Shalimov to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Maks Dziov (Broken fibula) is sidelined.
It’s our opinion that Fakelony may well go for a 5-3-2 system in the match, beginning the first half with Vitaliy Gudiev, Mohamed Brahimi, Igor Yurganov, Sergey Bozhin, Igor Kalinin, Ilnur Alshin, Dylan Mertens, Irakli Kvekveskiri, Vyacheslav Yakimov, Vladimir Iljin and Aleksey Kashtanov.
🗞️ Team News: Lokomotiv Moscow
From a largely healthy group, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Lokomotiv Moscow gaffer Mikhail Galaktionov to contend with. Ilya Samoshnikov (Injury to the ankle) won’t be in action.
We are inclined to think that Loko seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Anton Mitryushkin, Maksim Nenakhov, Gerzino Nyamsi, Egor Pogostnov, Aleksandr Silyanov, Dmitri Barinov, Danila Godyaev, Vladislav Sarveli, Aleksey Batrakov, Sergey Pinyaev and Dmitri Vorobyev.
💭 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Fakel Voronezh will need things to go their way to be putting a goal past this Lokomotiv Moscow side who we think will likely score at least once to put them ahead.
We’re therefore tipping a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 winning score for Lokomotiv Moscow when all is said and done.
We’ll see what happens.
