Spartak will probably try to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans after losing points in the match with Akhmat, the opponent is quite suitable for this. Fakel is in a serious crisis and it is unlikely that a change of coach will immediately transform the team, in such a state the blue-whites will hardly be capable of desperate resistance in Moscow.
