Terek Grozny v CSKA Moscow match preview

By: j | August 17th, 2008

In any other year I would be looking towards the CSKA ~ Koni ~ to take this match easily. However they’ve had some of their best talent leave over the last six weeks and it has been an extremely difficult transition. The big question for Koni supporters, is whether last weeks four goal eruption the start of their way back or just a one-off. The pressure is on their attack which will weigh heavily upon Vágner Love and eighteen year-old sensation Alan Dzagoev. While he may not feature in the lineup, pay careful attention to Dawid Janczyk if he enters the match. He is fully healthy now and the young Polish striker is an emerging talent in the game.

Excluding last weeks fall from grace, Terek Grozny has been playing very good Football and have been consistently moving up the table. The additions of Florentin Petre, Andrei Margaritescu and Daniel Pancu have given them a new lease on life.
