📰 Team News: CSKA Moscow

We think that Armeytsy may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Igor Akinfeev, Milan Gajic, Matvey Lukin, Kirill Danilov, Danil Krugovoy, Matvey Kislyak, Dmitriy Barinov, Henrique Carmo, Ivan Oblyakov, Kirill Glebov and Luciano Gondou.

ℹ️ Team News: Sochi

From our viewpoint, Belo-sinie appear most likely to utilise a 3-4-3 system, starting the game with Yuriy Dyupin, A. Soldatenkov, Marcelo Alves, Vyacheslav Litvinov, Sergey Volkov, Maksim Mukhin, Aleksandr Kovalenko, Kirill Zaika, Gustavo Furtado, Zakhar Fedorov and Mikhail Ignatov.

⚡ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, CSKA Moscow will probably be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the other end, Sochi are also probably going to find it difficult to score a goal of their own although we do reckon that they could well end up pulling one back during this clash.

Accordingly, we see a comfortable 3-1 victory for CSKA Moscow at the end of the match.
