Spartak Nalchik pulled themselves together and earned a clinical victory away against Moskva 0-2 to secure Premier League birth for the next season in style. Now they certainly want to repay the faithful fans for their support and trust with another victory and perhaps jump into 11th position in the table. Roman Koncedalov comes back from suspension. Elsewhere Yury Krasnozhan has a full squad to choose from. One of the few changes to a rather stable and predictable line up has been the inclusion of goalkeeper Dmitry Khomich instead of Dejan Radic. Russian keeper, who is on-loan from Spartak Moscow, fully used his chance aganst Moskva by keeping a clean sheet and has every opportunity to continue between the sticks. If Terek’s training staff keep their words and bring the same reserve side, which faced Kuban in the previous round, then Spartak will have no problems in taking the ball away from visitors and at least keeping the possession percentage at 60. Eventually chance will start falling to hosts’ feet as I can hardly see Terek resisting the pressure.
Testing rserves
Terek had a comedian display against highly motivated Kuban and predictably lost 0-1. Their goalless streak is now stretched to 4 games, while the loosing – to 5. Training staff have decided to give some of the youngsters a chance to show their worth in the closing 2 rounds of the championship. This is the second leg of the questionable experiment. Center back Cleber is back from suspension. Should Terek keep their word we will see the same line up as against Kuban. Even top scorer Shamil Lakhiyalov was left as an unused sub at the bench. The only regulars, who are expected to feature are defensive midfielder Hajmovic and Dzhabrailov, and striker Zaur Sadaev. Even with a full strength team Terek has been poor on road throughout the season. With only 6 scored goals in 14 away games, it goes without saying that visitors will be closed in their own half for majority of the match. Winning back the possession under current circumstances is a mission impossible for Terek.
Betting advice
These two teams have a tradition to share points. It’s Spartak’s turn to win
