The campaign favorites failed to earn important points at
the start of the season and they will make an effort to improve themselves
in the Day 2.
The weekend program will be opened with the match between Krylya Sovetov
and CSKA Moscow in Samara.
The hosts won the opening game of the year and now sit second in the standings
while the Moscow side are in the middle of the table with one point.
CSKA are without injured Ramon while Leonid Slutsky won't rely on services
of Jiri Jarosik.
Lokomotiv will travel to Yaroslavl as they will face Shinnik. Burchenko
will be an only absentee for the home side, Lokomotiv captain Diniyar
Bilyaletdinov will miss the game through suspension.
Spartak welcome Tom at Luzhniki stadium in effort to improve their position
as they are only the eleventh team. Stanislav Cherchesov won't count on
injured Dzyuba, Kalinichenko, Kovac and Shishkin while Tom are without
Evsikov.
Moskva vs. Zenit clash is the weekend eyecatcher. Both teams started the
campaign not brightly as they draw their opening games. Moskva will play
without Krunic and Meleshin, the defending champions will be without Dominguez,
Kim Dong Jin and Lombaerts through injuries.
Dynamo host Khimki on Sunday with the visitors being the bottom-placed
club. Both sides are in search of vital three points and will give a real
fight to steal the victory. Dynamo won't rely on Granat, Pimenov, Siseru
and Skepsky, the visitors will miss Stepanov.
In the other games of the weekend Saturn host Terek, Rubin play Luch-energiya
at home, Spartak Nalchik welcome Amkar.
