Rubin Kazan Form & Team News
Rubin Kazan came from their first win of the season as they claimed a 1-0 win at Dinamo Moscow. They were made to work hard to win and needed a 93rd minute effort from Beka Mikeltadze.
Eduardo Docampo's men have struggled with inconsistency of late with results at Dinamo ending a five-match run without a win, stretching back to preseason. They were rewarded with odds of 2.38 to win on Monday but with only two clean sheets in their last eight matches, BTTS saw more likely results.
Beka Mikeltadze's heroic demise from the bench against Dinamo Moscow could give him a place in the starting line-up on Monday. Vidar Orn Kjartansson is also likely to have a feature joining this summer from Swedish outfit Hammarby.
Akhmat Grozny Form & Team News
Akhmat Grozny suffered a 3-0 defeat at Ural last time in the league. The visitors conceded just before half-time and could not find their way back to the contest with the Urals grabbing a further goal after the break.
Rashid Rahimov's men are often inconsistent on the road after claiming two wins and suffering two defeats in their last five away matches. They are rewarded with odds of 3.00 to win in Kazan but with only three clean sheets in their last 10 Russian Premier League matches, they will likely concede on Monday.
Bernard Berisha is on target in the opening match against Krasnodar and must maintain his place in midfield. Ablay Mbengue will also continue as a single player in the attack after scoring three goals in his last five matches in all competitions.
