Team News

Rubin Kazan
Akron Togliatti
  • Montenegrin defender Igor Vujacic is suspended after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season last time out against FC Krasnodar.
  • Defender Alexey Gritsaenko remains sidelined because of a persistent injury and is a doubt for Friday’s match.
  • Midfielder Aleksandar Jukic is undergoing treatment for a long-term injury and will only return to action after the winter break.
  • Gilson Benchimol and Roberto Fernández will be on international duty with Cape Verde and Bolivia this week and might not return to Russia on time for Friday’s match.
  • Goalkeeper Alexander Vasyutin is back in training after recovering from a persistent injury and will be available for selection here.
  • Winger Soltmurad Bakaev is suspended after being sent off in last round’s match against Spartak Moscow.

Prediction

  • FC Rubin Kazan held league leaders’ FC Krasnodar last time out and on a good day are slight favourites to get the three points here.
  • FC Akron were hammered by Spartak Moscow before the international break and are looking forward to bounce back when they visit Kazan on Friday.
  • Despite the home side's slight upper hand, a draw is the most likely outcome here.
