Team News: Orenburg
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Orenburg manager Ildar Akhmetzyanov to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Aleksey Tataev (unknown injury) is out of contention.
It’s our opinion that Orenburg should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Bogdan Ovsyannikov, Stanislav Poroykov, Jhon Alex Palacios, Danila Khotulev, Danila Vedernikov, Ruslan Kul, Evgeny Bolotov, Jordhy Thompson, Renat Golybin, Dmitriy Rybchinskiy and Gedeon Guzina.
🗞️
Team News: FC Rostov
From our viewpoint, FC Rostov appear most likely to utilise a 5-4-1 system, choosing Rustam Yatimov, Andrey Langovich, Viktor Melekhin, David Semenchuk, Oumar Sako, Ygor Nogueira, Yaroslav Mikhailov, Aleksey Mironov, Ivan Komarov, Mohammad Mohebi and Timur Suleymanov.

Prediction
We feel that FC Rostov and Orenburg could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. Our tip is therefore for a tight encounter with a score draw at the end of the match.
