Team News

Rubin Kazan
PFC Sochi
  • Defensive midfielder Ugochukwu Iwu missed last round’s match at Moscow and is a doubt here.
  • Serbian winger Nikola Cumic is undergoing treatment for a long-term injury and will miss Saturday’s match.
  • Goalkeeper Nikita Goylo and defender Moussa Sissako have been recovering from long-term injuries and will not feature here.
  • PFC Sochi were relegated after last round’s defeat against FC Krasnodar, but their head coach Robert Moreno announced that he had accepted the club’s offer and that his contract was extended for another three years.
  • Forward Saúl Guarirapa scored a brace last time out and he is the man of the moment at Sochi after scoring seven goals in nine league matches this season.

Prediction

  • After a long undefeated run, FC Rubin Kazan lost last round’s match at Moscow and dropped one place in the standings. Despite last round’s defeat, Rashid Rakhimov’s men are slight favourites to win here.
  • PFC Sochi improved significantly under Robert Moreno, but the Spanish head coach didn’t arrive on time to save the club from relegation. They have nothing to play for here, except for their pride.
