Stepan Melnikov

① Rostov's home form and solidity give them the edge.

② Baltika will need a clever plan to threaten, likely limited to countering.

③ Defensive errors could lead to a high-scoring game.

① Krasnodar have the home advantage and a slightly stronger recent form than Rostov.

② Rostov can threaten on the counter, but Krasnodar's attack should prevail.
