Team News

Spartak Moscow
FC Rostov
  • Serbian defender Srdjan Babic is suspended after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season last weekend against Lokomotiv.
  • Defender Nikita Chernov has been recovering from a metatarsal fracture and will only return to action next month.
  • Mikhail Ignatov missed the Russian Cup match against Dynamo Moscow due to a recent injury and will probably miss Saturday’s match as well.
  • Forward Egor Golenkov sustained an injury in last round’s match against FC Akron and should return to action by the end of the month.
  • Midfielder Alexey Mironov is undergoing treatment for a long-term knee injury and is likely to be available for selection in December.
  • Egyptian defender Eyad El Askalany will not feature here because of a long-term injury.

Prediction

  • Spartak conceded their second defeat of the season in the league last weekend against Lokomotiv Moscow. Dejan Stankovic’s men, however, managed to bounce back in the Russian Cup, defeating their city neighbours of Dynamo on Wednesday. Spartak are favourites to get the three points here.
  • FC Rostov lost at home to FC Akron last weekend and are going through a negative run of results with three defeats from their last two matches. Valery Karpin’s men will need to be at their very best in order to get points from Saturday’s match.
