Team News

Khimki
Spartak Moscow
  • Russian midfielder Artur Yusupov missed last round’s match against Dynamo Makhachkala due to a minor injury and is a doubt here.
  • Defender Cédric Gogoua, who joined the club last week, has not yet been registered in the league and will probably miss Sunday’s match.
  • Portuguese defender Tomás Tavares left the club to join LASK Linz on a season-long loan.
  • Defender Alexis Duarte missed last round’s match at Orenburg because of injury and is a doubt here.
  • According to the club’s General Director, Oleg Malyshev, Brazilian forward Willian José didn’t travel with the team to Orenburg last weekend because he needs to improve his physical condition. The former Real Betis forward might miss here as well.
  • Russia international Alexander Sobolev has been suspended from training with Spartak’s first team and might leave the club in the near future.

Prediction

  • FC Khimki failed to get anything better than a draw at home against Dynamo Makhachkala after missing two penalties during the match. On a good day, Franc Artiga’s men might cause Spartak a major upset here.
  • Spartak started the new season off on the wrong foot, losing at Orenburg by 2-0. Head coach Dejan Stankovic will need to work his magic in order to motivate the team for Sunday’s derby.
  • Judging by both sides’ performance from last weekend, a draw is the most likely outcome next time out.
