Team News

Spartak Moscow
CSKA Moscow
  • Russia international Alexander Sobolev is suspended after receiving his fourth yellow card of the season in last round’s match at Samara.
  • Goalkeeper Alexander Selikhov has been recovering from a recent injury and is likely to miss the upcoming derby.
  • Portuguese defender Tomás Tavares remains sidelined because of a long-term knee injury and will not feature here.
  • Ilya Agapov sustained a knee injury in last weekend’s match against FC Baltika and is likely to miss the upcoming derby.
  • Russian defender Igor Diveev is undergoing treatment for a long-term injury and will not feature here.

Prediction

  • Spartak Moscow conceded seven goals in their last two official matches. Last round’s defeat at Samara was particularly painful for the team and caused them to drop a few places in the league table.
  • After four consecutive draws, CSKA returned to winning ways last weekend against FC Baltika and are certainly hoping to extend their undefeated league run in the Moscow derby on Sunday.
  • Judging by both sides’ recent performances, a draw is the most likely outcome here.
