Team News

PFC Sochi
Rubin Kazan
  • Brazilian defender Marcelo Alves is suspended after being sent off in last round’s match against Dynamo Moscow.
  • Attacking midfielder Miguel Silveira missed the last couple of matches because of injury and is a doubt here.
  • Vitaly Lisakovich is set to leave the club during the winter break. The Belarusian forward has reportedly been suspended by head coach Rashid Rakhimov and is not training with the main team.
  • Polish defender Maciej Rybus has been struggling with a persistent injury and is likely to miss the upcoming visit to Sochi.
  • Midfielder Darko Jevtic remains sidelined due to a long-term injury and will not feature here.
  • Nikola Cumic picked up an injury in last round’s match at Yekaterinburg and is a doubt here.

Prediction

  • PFC Sochi pulled off a draw against Dynamo Moscow last time out, but remained in the last position of the league table. Alexander Tochilin’s men are almost forced to win here.
  • FC Rubin Kazan defeated FC Ural at Yekaterinburg last time out and extended their undefeated run to four matches. The Tatarstan outfit won three of those last four matches and are slight favourites to win next time out.
  • Despite the visitors’ slight upper hand, a draw is the most likely outcome for Sunday’s match at Sochi.
