The Premier League tie at Arena-Khimki on Sunday sees home team FC Khimki welcome visiting opponents Ufa, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
FC Khimki will be looking for another win after the 4-1 Premier League triumph vs Krylia Sovetov. We think that Khimki will probably employ a 3-5-2 formation this time with Ilya Lantratov, Zakhar Volkov, Dmitri Tikhiy, Giya Grigalava, Kirill Bozhenov, Ilya Kamyshev, Denis Glushakov, Reziuan Mirzov, Brian Idowu, Ilya Kukharchuk and Aleksandr Rudenko.
FC Khimki boss Sergei Yuran will be happy not to have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash thanks to a completely healthy group available to select from.
How FC Khimki might line up for the game against Ufa
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Ural in Premier League action, Ufa and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. It’s our belief that Gorozhane might begin the game with a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Aleksandr Belenov, Yuri Zhuravlev, Konstantin Pliev, Aleksey Nikitin, Dmitriy Kabutov, Filip Mrzljak, Ruslan Fishchenko, Vladislav Kamilov, Bojan Jokic, Gamid Agalarov and Dilan Ortíz.
Ufa boss Aleksei Stukalov has some current player fitness concerns. Filip Mrzljak (Muscle Injury) and Timur Zhamaletdinov (Surgery) miss out here. Bojan Jokic is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
