Missing Players
Team News
Krylya Sovetov Samara
- New signings Gia Grigalava and Ruslan Adzhindzhal are eligible to make their debuts for the club.
- Luis Nery Caballero is expected to start despite reports that Lazio are in negotiations for his transfer.
- Ibragim Tsallagov looks likely to start at left back, due to the injury of Bruno Teles.
Spartak Moscow
- Spartak Moscow head into the match without a number of first team players sidelined through injury.
- Ari is unlikely to feature prominently over the coming months due to a contractual dispute.
- Denis Glushakov and Tino Costa are expected to make their competitive debuts for the club.
Prediction
- Spartak Moscow have once again looked to add more quality to a flagging central midfield. Tino Costa and Denis Glushakov's arrivals could add greater creativity alongside the steel of Rafael Carioca, which would make Spartak a force to be reckoned with.
- Krylya Sovetov survived a relegation play off last season and it would appear as though the club's lack of investment this summer could see them suffering towards the rear of the table once again.
- Spartak's quality should be sufficient to take the three points, however the club's inconsistencies in recent times have meant that they can fall foul in matches they are expected to win.
