Team News

PFC Sochi
FC Rostov
  • Brazilian defender Marcelo Alves is suspended after being sent off in last round’s match against CSKA Moscow.
  • Versatile forward Georgi Melkadze is fully recovered from a persistent injury and will be able to help the team next time out.
  • Attacking midfielder Timofey Shipunov missed last round’s match due to a minor injury and is a doubt here.
  • Russia international Maksim Osipenko remains sidelined because of a recent injury and is likely to be out for two more matches.
  • Goalkeeper Nikita Medvedev has been recovering from an injury sustained during a training session a few weeks ago and will miss out here.

Prediction

  • PFC Sochi are going through a bad run of results after losing their last three league matches and will need to pull off something special in order to return to winning ways here.
  • After their debacle at Samara, FC Rostov pulled off a solid win over FC Rubin Kazan last time out and are slight favourites to get the three points on Saturday.
