Team News

Spartak Moscow
Lokomotiv Moscow
  • Versatile midfielder Ruslan Litvinov remains suspended after being sent off in the Moscow derby against CSKA earlier this month.
  • Defender Srdjan Babic sustained a knee injury on international duty this week and will probably miss Saturday’s match against Lokomotiv.
  • Nikita Chernov is undergoing an individual training programme in order to restore his fitness after a persistent injury.
  • Midfielder Dmitry Barinov missed the Russian National Team training camp due to family reasons, but should be available for selection next time out.
  • Defender César Montes is on international duty with Mexico and might not return on time for Saturday’s match.
  • Brazilian defender Lucas Fasson is being treated for a long-term injury and will miss the Moscow derby.

Prediction

  • Spartak hammered FC Akron last time out and extended their winning run to three matches. Dejan Stankovic’s men are extremely motivated ahead of Saturday’s derby.
  • Lokomotiv pulled off their second win in a row last time out against FC Fakel and on a good day might cause Spartak a major upset here.
  • There aren’t any real favourites for Saturday’s derby and a draw is the most likely outcome here.
