  • Prediction

    Arsenal lost to Spartak Moscow last Monday and remain in a perilous position in the league table. The Tula outfit cannot afford to drop any points here.

    Rubin Kazan returned to winning ways last time out against Dynamo Moscow and also need to win here in order to try to secure a place in the Europa League.

    The Kazan outfit have a slight upper hand here, but the match will probably end in a draw.
