Amkar - Anzhi

Amkar are slight favourites for Friday’s clash, although their lack of firepower up front should certainly be on Gadzhi Gadzhiyev's list of concerns. A defensive mistake from Ivan Cherenchikov dented Amkar’s plans for the match against CSKA Moscow. Gadzhi Gadzhiyev acknowledged the home side's superiority and expressed his frustration at his team’s defensive blunders. Amkar are currently forbidden from registering new players due to missing payments to players, coaching staff and other employees. FC Anzhi’s recent performances have showed that the team is improving, but their regular defensive mistakes have been costing them their first points this season. FC Anzhi started their match against Dynamo in impressive fashion, but they were once again let down by their own sloppy defensive skills. Four consecutive defeats and eight goals conceded is Yuri Semin’s men current record. Given both sides' recent displays, the most likely result at the Zvezda Stadium’s on Friday is Anzhi win.
