Team News

FC Krasnodar
Spartak Moscow
  • Brazilian defender Kaio sustained an injury in last round’s match at Voronezh and is a doubt out here.
  • Winger Shapi Suleymanov missed last time out against FC Fakel and is likely to leave the team in the next few days.
  • Recent signing Vítor Tormena has already traveled with the team to Voronezh last weekend and is likely to make his debut whether in the midweek Russian Cup match or Saturday against Spartak.
  • Forward Keita Baldé missed the last couple of matches because of illness and is a doubt for Saturday’s visit to Krasnodar.
  • Portuguese defender Tomás Tavares has been recovering from a long-term knee injury and will only return to action after the winter break.
  • Versatile midfielder Victor Moses remains sidelined because of a recent injury and might not yet be available to help the team next time out.

Prediction

  • FC Krasnodar failed to win their last two league matches, but remain undefeated and at the top of the league after six rounds. Vladimir Ivic’s men have already lost to Spartak in the Russian Cup this season, but this time the outcome will probably be different and they are slight favourites to win here.
  • Spartak failed to get anything better than a home draw against FK Akhmat last time out and extended their run without wins to three matches. Before traveling to Krasnodar, Spartak will still have a very demanding Russian Cup match against city rivals’ Dynamo.
