📋 Team News: Nizhny Novgorod

The Nizhny Novgorod manager Mikhail Galaktionov has zero fitness concerns at all before this match owing to a completely injury-free group to pick from.

We think that Nizhny Novgorod may well make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Nikita Goylo, Ilya Agapov, Lucas Masoero, Kirill Gotsuk, Dmitry Stotskiy, Nikolay Kalinsky, Albert Sharipov, I. Yuldoshev, Dmitri Rybchinskiy, Vyacheslav Krotov and Timur Suleymanov.

ℹ️ Team News: Orenburg

Orenburg manager Marcel Lička has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Dmitriy Vorobyev (Leg Injury) and Dmitri Vasiljev (Unknown Injury) can’t be considered.

We reckon that Orenburg seem likely to utilise a 3-4-3 formation with a starting lineup of Aleksey Kenyaykin, Mikhail Sivakov, Renato Gojkovic, Danila Khotulev, Vladimir Poluyahtov, Lucas Vera, Timur Ayupov, Kirill Pechenin, Gabriel Florentín, Vladimir Sychevoy and Jimmy Marín.
