Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Spartak Moscow manager Guillermo Abascal to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Georgiy Dzhikiya (Thigh Problems) will miss out.

We think that Narodnaya komanda will possibly go for a 4-3-3 system for this one, beginning the first half with Aleksandr Selikhov, Daniil Khlusevich, Nikita Chernov, Ruslan Litvinov, Maciej Rybus, C. Martins Pereira, Nail Umyarov, Roman Zobnin, Anton Zinkovskiy, Aleksandr Sobolev and Quincy Promes.

We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Spartak Moscow come full-time.
