Orenburg
LLLLLL ☠
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Terek Grozny in Premier League competition, Orenburg will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Orenburg had 62% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Akhmat Grozny got 22 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Aleksandr Zhirov (50') scored for Terek Grozny.
It is worth noting that Orenburg have had real problems scoring goals over their previous six clashes, recording the unsatisfactory return of just 2. In those fixtures, Orenburg have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 11.
Looking at their past form shows that Orenburg:
- have not emerged victorious against Spartak Moscow when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 20 matches in the league. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

Team News: Spartak Moscow
It’s our opinion that Narodnaya komanda will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with Aleksandr Maksimenko, Daniil Denisov, Alexis Duarte, Ruslan Litvinov, Oleg Reabciuk, C. Martins Pereira, Nail Umyarov, Theo Bongonda, Esequiel Barco, Marquinhos and Manfred Ugalde.
📰
Team News: Orenburg
Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Orenburg gaffer Vladimir Slišković to contend with. Gabriel Florentín (Muscle injury) won’t be in action.
We’re of the thinking that Orenburg could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation using Nikolay Sysuev, Maksim Sidorov, Danila Prokhin, Artem Kasimov, Georgiy Zotov, Ivan Basic, Yaroslav Mikhailov, Brian Mansilla, Mohammad Ghorbani, Jimmy Marín and Saeid Saharkhizan.
🧠
Prediction
In this match, Orenburg are likely to break down this Spartak Moscow side, although that might not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.
We’re expecting a close game with a 2-1 victory for Spartak Moscow at the end of the 90 minutes. It’s a very tough call.
