🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that FC Rostov will have to work hard as a team to put one past this Spartak Moscow side who we reckon will get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore seeing a very competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Spartak Moscow at the conclusion of the game.

Should be a close one.
