Gameday in Sochi for the round 17 between Sochi & Krasnodar.

Sochi will be without Terekhov.

Krasnodar will be without Cordoba, Gazinskiy & Cabella. It means two important players offensively are out. Coach also continue to put Spajic on the bench. Tonny Vilhena is on the bench, I don’t understand that decision as they had already missings offensively. At least they have Spertsyan for their offense in the 11.

Sochi is ranked 3 with 9 wins, 1 draw & 6 losses for 26 goals scored & 19 goals conceded.

Krasnodar is ranked 6 with 7 wins, 4 draws & 5 losses for 27 goals scored & 17 goals conceded.

Sochi is a very strong team this season, they have a great coach, Vladimir Fedotov, it’s one of the only team who could dominate Zenit this season and they did it on the road. They have some up and down but usually the down are on the road. They are in two games in a row without a win, they have a great opportunity with a Krasnodar team who is a top team in Russia but as I said they have important missings.

Krasnodar has a lot of problems to be constant this season, even in Russian Cup against Kuban with a strong 11 they lost.

Last game they made a poor game against Khimki.

I expect a draw on this game but Krasnodar will be weaker than usually offensively and also I rate that Spajic on the bench on such a game is very bad.
