Team News

Nizhny Novgorod
Khimki
  • Uzbek defender Ibrokhimkhalil Yuldoshev missed last round’s match because of a recent injury and is a doubt out here.
  • Russia U21 international Timur Suleymanov picked up a knock last weekend against Dynamo Moscow and is also a doubt next time out.
  • Versatile defender Aleksey Kozlov is not yet at full fitness and may miss out this weekend.
  • Midfielder Ilya Kamyshev sustained an injury in last round’s derby against CSKA Moscow and is a doubt here.
  • Veteran defender Yuri Zhirkov is back in training after recovering from injury and might be able to return to action on Sunday.
  • Defenders Egor Danilkin, Aleksandr Filin and Elmir Nabiulin remain sidelined because of injury and will probably miss the visit to Nizhny Novgorod.

Prediction

  • FC Nizhny Novgorod lost to Dynamo Moscow at home last weekend and have only one win in their last four matches. Aleksandr Kerzhakov’s men remain dangerously close to the relegation zone.
  • FC Khimki defeated CSKA last weekend to secure their third win in a row. Sergey Yuran’s men are going through a good moment of form.
  • FC Nizhny Novgorod have a slight upper hand here, but a draw is the most likely outcome for Sunday’s match.
