Team News

Baltika
Spartak Moscow
  • Russian goalkeeper Evgeny Latyshonok has been recovering from a serious knee injury and will only return to action after the winter break.
  • Attacking midfielder Vladislav Lazarev remains sidelined because of a long-term injury and will miss Saturday’s match.
  • Defender Georgi Dzhikya has been recovering from a broken rib and is likely to return to training this week, but he is still a doubt here.
  • Russia international Roman Zobnin sustained a muscle spasm in last round’s match against FC Rostov and is also a doubt for the upcoming visit to Kaliningrad.
  • Midfielder Nail Umyarov has been struggling with a minor injury, but is likely to recover in time for Saturday's match.

Prediction

  • FC Baltika held FC Pari NN to a draw last time out but remain in a perilous position in the league table. Sergey Ignashevich’s men need to win here.
  • Spartak Moscow returned to winning ways against FC Rostov last time out, but their performances away from home this season have been far from impressive.
  • Spartak’s last away win in the league was back in August at Kazan and they will need to be at their very best in order to get the three points next time out.
  • Despite the visitors’ slight upper hand, a draw is the most likely outcome on Saturday at Kaliningrad.
