FC Khimki manager Magomed Adiyev has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Edgardo Fariña (Muscle injury) and Diego Luna (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.
From our viewpoint, FC Khimki seem most likely to utilise a 5-4-1 system, starting the game with Nikita Kokarev, Ilya Berkovskiy, Daniel Fernández, Georgiy Dzhikiya, Oleksandr Filin, Orinho, Zelimkhan Bakaev, Alex Corredera, Robert Mejía, Lucas Vera and Anton Zabolotny.
💭 Prediction
For this match, we think that Orenburg will, in all likelihood, get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
At the same time, FC Khimki may well struggle to get a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a 3-1 winning margin for Orenburg after 90 minutes.
