The Premier League tie at Rostec-Arena on Saturday will see hosts Baltika Kaliningrad take to the field against Spartak Moscow, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Baltika Kaliningrad head into this game following on from a 0-0 Premier League draw versus Nizhny Novgorod. It looks as if Baltika will possibly opt for a 5-3-2 formation for this game and select Maksim Borisko, Guillermo Soto, Nikola Radmanovac, Ivan Ostojic, Nathan Gassama, Roberto Fernández, Kristijan Bistrovic, Aleksandr Osipov, Maksim Kuzmin, Gedeon Guzina and Tamerlan Musaev.
Evgeniy Latyshonok and Vladislav Lazarev will be missing for Baltika boss Sergei Ignashevich.
How Baltika Kaliningrad might line up to play Spartak Moscow
Spartak Moscow will go into the meeting after a 2-1 Premier League win as they beat FC Rostov in their most recent fixture. We reckon that Narodnaya komanda will likely play in a 4-3-3 system using Aleksandr Maksimenko, Oleg Reabciuk, Alexis Duarte, Srdjan Babic, Nikita Chernov, Danil Prutsev, Ruslan Litvinov, Mikhail Ignatov, Anton Zinkovskiy, Quincy Promes and Jesús Medina.
Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Spartak Moscow gaffer Guillermo Abascal to contend with. Tomás Tavares (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.
