Samara Kryliya Sovetov @ Amkar Perm’ match preview

By: j | September 19th, 2008

This is the match of the day and could go a long way in both clubs Champions League efforts. Krysy is coming on strong and the manager Leonid Slutsky has them playing very worthy of a Champions League spot.

Amkar Perm’ needs Georgi Peev to continue to push the offense forward but they will face a formidable task against Krysy’ midfield of Ruslan Adzhindzhal, Anton Bober, Andrei Tikhonov with Czech Republic veteran JJiří Jarošík and Oleg Ivanov. Krysy striking tandem of Yevgeny Savin and Jan Koller continue to gel and with each match they are more of a challenge to control. A victory today by the visitors will see them leap over Amkar Perm’. With the Zenit Saint Petersburg – CSKA Moscow match on Sunday, we could see a radical different look at the Champions League race.

I will report on this match with my weekend round-up of the Russian Premier League.
