CSKA Moscow v Saturn Moscow Oblast match preview

This is a odd situation as CSKA as seen their offense literally fall apart with both Jô and Dudu leaving in the last month as well as Daniel Carvalho on a leave of absence. It has shown very obviously as they’ve been held scoreless in each of the last four matches and has left Valery Gazzaev with the only option of playing a more defensive game and packing the midfield in a 4-5-1. Re-tooling to this degree at this stage of the season is near impossible so they will not only need to employ defensive tactics but also require some of the younger players such as Alan Dzagoev, Caner Erkin and Dawid Janczyk to rise to the occasion. If CSKA is to have any hopes of a European trip next season, they will need to start scoring and winning again, making this a critical match
