Team News

Rubin Kazan
PFC Sochi
  • According to head coach Leonid Slutsky, defensive midfielder Leon Musaev wasn’t included as planned in last weekend’s starting XI due to injury.
  • Versatile winger Mikhail Kostyukov is undergoing treatment for a long-term injury and will not feature here.
  • Attacking midfielder Artur Yusupov is suspended after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season last time out against FK Akhmat.
  • Brazilian defender Rodrigão, who is currently recovering from a broken rib, will serve his second match of a two-game ban after a brawl with Jan Kuchta during the match against Lokomotiv Moscow.
  • Ivelin Popov has missed the last couple of matches for undisclosed reasons and he is likely to return to Bulgaria in the near future.

Prediction

  • FC Rubin Kazan returned to winning ways last weekend against Arsenal Tula after a long streak of negative results. Leonid Slutsky’s men remain dangerously close to the relegation payoff zone.
  • PFC Sochi defeated FK Akhmat last time out and extended their undefeated run to four matches. The visitors are slight favourites to win here.
