Team News

CSKA Moscow
PFC Sochi
  • Uzbekistan international Abbosbek Fayzullaev joined CSKA Moscow from Pakhtakor Tashkent last week.
  • Defender Igor Diveev is undergoing treatment for a recent injury and will only return to action after the winter break.
  • Versatile midfielder Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov sustained a muscle injury in last weekend’s Moscow derby and is a doubt here.
  • Egor Ushakov and Jorge Carrascal will not feature here because of long-term injuries.
  • Forward Georgy Melkadze is back in training after recovering from a recent injury, but he is still not fully fit and is a doubt here.
  • Christian Noboa missed the midweek Russian Cup match at Orenburg for undisclosed reasons, but the Ecuador international, who is about to receive his Russian passport, is likely to return to the starting line-up next time out.
  • Defender Solomon Agbalaka has joined the Sochi outfit on a season-long loan from Broad City.

Prediction

  • CSKA pulled off a spectacular win over Lokomotiv in last weekend’s derby, but ended up defeated at home by FC Fakel in the midweek cup match. Despite Wednesday’s setback, CSKA are favourites to win here.
  • PFC Sochi have lost their last two league matches and are unlikely to claim any points from Sunday’s visit to Moscow.
