📰 Team News: Orenburg

Bogdan Moskvichev (Cruciate ligament tear), Gabriel Florentín (Cruciate ligament tear) and Jimmy Marín (unknown injury) will not be taking part for Orenburg manager Vladimir Slišković.

In our view, Orenburg will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with Nikolay Sysuev, Andrey Malykh, Danila Prokhin, Artem Kasimov, Maksim Sidorov, Aleksey Tataev, Ivan Basic, Emircan Gurluk, Dmitriy Rybchinskiy, Brian Mansilla and Maksim Saveljev.

📰 Team News: FC Khimki

FC Khimki boss Magomed Adiyev has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Edgardo Fariña (Muscle injury) and Diego Luna (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that FC Khimki might play in a 5-4-1 system using 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.
