Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, there is just the sole fitness problem for the FC Krasnodar gaffer Murad Musayev to be concerned with. Daniil Golikov (Leg injury) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

Orenburg would be disappointed if they were not to score against this FC Krasnodar lineup, but a single goal might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’ve gone for a 1-2 winning score for FC Krasnodar at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
