Team News

Spartak Moscow
Akron Togliatti
  • Russia international Ruslan Litvinov is suspended after being sent off during last weekend’s derby against CSKA.
  • Defender Nikita Chernov is back in training after recovering from a long-term injury, but is likely to miss out here.
  • Goalkeeper Alexander Vasyutin is being treated for a persistent injury and will probably not be available for selection next time out.
  • Midfielder Maksim Kuzmin sustained a minor injury in last round’s derby at Samara and is a doubt here.

Prediction

  • Spartak Moscow defeated CSKA in last round’s derby and have surely increased their motivation levels ahead of Sunday’s match. Their midweek defeat in the Russian Cup against FC Rostov should not hinder the team here. Dejan Stankovic’s men are slight favourites to get the three points here.
  • FC Akron returned to winning ways last time out at Samara and will surely offer a close contest to Spartak on Sunday.
