The Premier League match at VEB Arena on Friday will see home side CSKA Moscow prepare for the visit of Baltika Kaliningrad. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
CSKA Moscow, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 3-1 Premier League success versus Lokomotiv Moscow. In our view, Armeytsy should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, beginning the first half with Vladislav Torop, Milan Gajic, Matvey Lukin, Kirill Danilov, Matheus Reis, Matvey Kislyak, Dmitriy Barinov, Danil Krugovoy, Ivan Oblyakov, Danila Kozlov and Maksim Voronov.
Igor Akinfeev, Maksim Voronov and Ramiro Di Luciano are unavailable for CSKA gaffer Dmitriy Igdisamov.
Possible CSKA Moscow team for the game against Baltika Kaliningrad
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Dynamo Moscow in Premier League competition, Baltika Kaliningrad will be hoping to turn things around here. We believe Baltika will likely utilise a 3-4-3 system, settling for Egor Lyubakov, Sergey Varatynov, Eduardo Anderson, Nathan Gassama, Eldar Civic, Aymane Mourid, Ivan Belikov, Mingiyan Beveev, Maksim Petrov, Chinonso Offor and Nikolay Titkov.
Baltika manager Andrei Talalayev has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Aleksandr Filin (Cruciate ligament tear), Brayan Gil (Foot surgery) and Yaroslav Arbuzov (Ligament stretching) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
