📰 Team News: Sochi
It seems likely that Belo-sinie may well line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation this time, utilising Denis Adamov, Vanja Drkusic, Igor Yurganov, Sergey Terekhov, Kirill Zaika, Victorien Angban, Ibragim Tsallagov, Artem Makarchuk, Christian Noboa, Georgi Melkadze and Vladislav Sarveli.
📰 Team News: Nizhny Novgorod
Owing to a completely healthy squad to pick from, the Nizhny Novgorod manager Mikhail Galaktionov does not have any fitness worries to report coming into this clash.
We believe Nizhny Novgorod appear most likely to elect for a 5-4-1 lineup, going with Artur Nigmatullin, Daniil Kornyushin, Nikita Kakkoev, Viktor Aleksandrov, Kirill Gotsuk, I. Yuldoshev, Milson, Nikolay Kalinsky, Mamadou Maiga, Vyacheslav Krotov and Timur Suleymanov.
🧠 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Nizhny Novgorod certainly have the ability to breach the defence of this Sochi side, however it isn’t expected to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Sochi by the conclusion of the game. Let’s see what happens here.
