Our team went to the second trip abroad of the season. On Friday evening, the Red-Blues will play with Minsk...
With different rosters

PRE-GAME BREAKDOWN

In the first round, the Minsk side had the only foreigner on the roster - Zack Smith. This time the roster of the opponents will be significantly different from the previous one. The club signed Ognjen Pantovic, Suprime Hanna and Jovan Slivancanin. At the same time, Smith is injured, and Pantovic has not yet made his debut for the team. But Slivancanin in his first game for Minsk - against Nizhny - became the best scorer for the Belarusian team.

CSKA still can’t use the help of Semen Antonov, who was also noticeable in the first game against Minsk, and is now recovering from surgery. On the eve of the game, the team had a practice session in Krylatskoye and arrived in Minsk with Aeroflot's regular flight.

WORD TO THE COACH

Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:

The coaching staff of Minsk is doing an excellent job, and we see progress in the game of the opponents. There is obvious effort and a high level of discipline on the team. We need to play responsibly to extend our winning streak.

“RELATIVITY” CONNECTIONS

In part of last season, Andrei Desyatnikov and Kirill Sitnik defended the colors of Dynamo Vladivostok together.
