Team News

CSKA Moscow

• Rasmus Elm could start the game after replacing Georgi Milanov at half time against Manchester City.
• Ahmed Musa is a doubt after being forced off against Manchester City with an injury. Steven Zuber could return to replace him.

Terek Grozny

• Ailton is likely to return to the starting XI after being replaced by Zaur Sadaev against Krylya Sovetov.
• Yaroslav Godzyur will likely keep his place in goal as Evgeni Gorodov is still on the sidelines with an inguinal hernia.

Match Facts

• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 13 of Terek Grozny’s last 14 games in Premier League.
• Terek Grozny have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 away matches in Premier League.
• CSKA Moscow are undefeated in 15 of their last 16 home matches in Premier League.
• CSKA Moscow have won 5 of their last 6 home matches against Terek Grozny in all competitions.
• Terek Grozny have failed to win 14 of their last 15 matches in Premier League.

Prediction

• A devastating loss to the hands of Manchester City has done little to restore pride or confidence to a depleted CSKA side. They need to bounce back with a strong showing, and a game against Terek could be the perfect remedy.
• Terek have been ever so gradually improving their fortunes, with a recent string of draws, but this is still a team that faces a major battle to avoid relegation. Goals are a fundamental concern, which appears unlikely to be solved soon.
• This game is reliant upon which CSKA side shows up. The quality that the home side possess should see them prevail fairly easily, however it’s a trying encounter for this CSKA team and they must stand up and be counted sooner rather than later.
