Krylya Sovetov - Amkar Perm

On Monday Amkar Perm travels to Samara to face Krylya Sovetov after a brilliant performance against Zenit in the Russian Cup that saw they fall in a penalty shoot out.

"Red-Black" manager Rashid Rakhimov surely was proud of his side and it is clear that despite their roster limitations, he has restored their disciplined style of play. Amkar's injury woes are improving, though they are still missing Ivan Cherenchikov, Igor Usminskiy and Nikita Burmistrov.

Excluding their upset of Saturn Moskovskaya Oblast, the campaign has been a tough test for Krylya Sovetov. After holding off financial collapse, the Samaran's line-up have managed to maintain a competitive side with credit owing to manager Yuriy Gazzaev's tactical plan but their attacking weakness is notable. With both sides highly disciplined, Krylya will look to dictate and limit Amkar's flanking attack. The Samaran tactician will miss striker Igor Strelkov, who come over from FC Moscow, due to injury.
