🗞️ Team News: FC Khimki

Edgardo Fariña (Muscle injury) and Diego Luna (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for FC Khimki manager Magomed Adiyev.

We are thinking that FC Khimki should go for a 5-4-1 system this time with Nikita Kokarev, Ilya Berkovskiy, Daniel Fernández, Georgiy Dzhikiya, Oleksandr Filin, Danil Stepanov, Zelimkhan Bakaev, Alex Corredera, Robert Mejía, Lucas Vera and Anton Zabolotny.

📰 Team News: Rubin Kazan

Rubin Kazan boss Rashid Rakhimov has a number of players out of action. Marvin Cuni (unknown injury) and Aleksandar Jukic (Knee injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that Tatáry appear most likely to utilise a 5-3-2 formation with a starting lineup of Evgeniy Staver, Dmitriy Kabutov, Egor Teslenko, Igor Vujacic, Aleksey Gritsaenko, Ilya Rozhkov, Valentin Vada, Ugochukwu Iwu, Bogdan Jocic, Dardan Shabanhaxhaj and Nikola Cumic.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Rubin Kazan should have enough to score against this FC Khimki outfit, but that probably shouldn’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re expecting a 2-1 advantage for FC Khimki after 90 minutes. Let’s just see how this one goes.
