Defender Egor Sorokin is suspended after being sent off in last round’s match against Arsenal Tula. Aleksandr Martynovich, Yuri Gazinsky, Evgeny Chernov and Vyacheslav Yakimov missed last weekend’s match due to illness. Defensive midfielder Aleksandr Chernikov is again available for selection after missing last time out due to suspension. Midfielders Ilzat Akhmetov and Jean-Philippe-Gbamin are suspended and will miss the upcoming visit to Krasnodar. Russia former international Igor Akinfeev was benched last time out due to a minor leg injury, but will likely return to the starting XI on Sunday. Yusuf Yazici and Bruno Fuchs will miss Sunday's match due injury. Attacking midfielder Alan Dzagoev is an injury doubt here.
FC Krasnodar have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 6 home matches against CSKA Moscow in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in CSKA Moscow's last 4 games (Premier League). CSKA Moscow are undefeated in their last 5 matches against FC Krasnodar in all competitions.
FC Krasnodar drew last time out but are at least unbeaten across their last three. A win here would see them change places with CSKA. CSKA are going through a poor moment of form after winning just one of their last six matches. Alexey Berezutskiy’s men cannot afford to lose here. Although the home side have the momentum of the two sides, a draw is the most likely option. 1:1
