Team News

Nizhny Novgorod
CSKA Moscow
  • Defender Viktor Aleksandrov is suspended after reaching the yellow card limit in last round’s match at Sochi.
  • Midfielders Mamadou Maiga, Konstantin Maradishvili and Ilya Zhigulev will not feature here due to long-term injuries.
  • Team’s captain Kirill Gotsuk is again available for selection after missing last time out because of suspension.
  • Goalkeeper Vladislav Torop sustained multiple fractures of the facial bones and a concussion after a collision with FC Zenit defender Nuraly Alip in the Russian Cup match in midweek. The 20-year old goalkeeper will miss Monday’s match at Nizhny Novgorod.
  • Brazilian defender Moisés Barbosa is suspended after receiving his eighth yellow card of the season last weekend at Saint Petersburg. Moisés also picked up an injury in the midweek Russian Cup match.
  • Versatile defender Milan Gajic also sustained an injury in the Russian Cup match against FC Zenit and is a doubt here. Head coach Vladimir Fedotov mentioned that it is still early to understand the extent of the injury.

Prediction

  • FC Pari NN have been sinking without trace and got only one point from their last six matches. The Nizhny Novgorod outfit are dangerously close to the playoff relegation zone and are forced to win here.
  • CSKA Moscow returned to winning ways in the league after a long period without getting the three points, but ended up eliminated from the Russian Cup by FC Zenit in midweek. Despite Wednesday’s setback, CSKA are favourites to win here.
