Rostov - Volga NN Pick : 1 Rostov have started the new season superbly. They now have 3 wins and 1 draw, having scored 8 goals and conceeded 3. TRANSFERS OUT: Inal Getigezhev to Rubin Kazan (2,5 million euros), Edgaras Cesnauskis and Razvan Cocis. TRANSFERS IN: Igor Lolo from Kuban Krasnodar, Kamil Agalarov from Anzhi, Artem Dzyuba on loan from Spartak Moscow (scored 6 goals in the 4 games played this season). As you can see, they are a stronger team than they were last season, for sure. Volga, on the other hand, have made a weak start to the new season. They have 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats, scoring 6 goals and conceeding 8, but it should be said that the draw was against Dynamo Moscow and the defeats were against Lokomotiv Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg. TRANSFERS OUT: Mikhail Kerzhakov (goalkeeper, 19 games), Aleksandr Kharitonov (midfielder, 13 games, 1 goal, 1 assist), Ruslan Adzhindzhal (midfielder, 28 games, 1 assist), Aleksandr Belozerov (defender, 25 games, 2 goals, 1 assist), Dmitri Ajdov (defender, 15 games), Gia Grigalava (defender, 19 games, 1 goal), Ilia Abaev (goalkeeper, 11 games) and Artur Sarkisov (forward, 10 games, 3 goals). As you can see, a lot of important players left or were sold. TRANSFERS IN: Luton Shelton from Karabukspor (reserve forward), Denis Kolodin from Dinamo Moscow (bench player), Roman Kontsedalov from Spartak Nalchik (reserve), Leandro from Arsenal Kiev (reserve), Marcin Kowalczyk from Slask Wroclaw (good defender), Artem Danilenko from Khimik (reserve) and Dmitri Sychev from Lokomotiv Moscow (bench player). As you can see, they have mostly picked up fringe players from other clubs, so the team is considerably weaker than last season. I believe Rostov is a stronger team and playing at home, in front of their own fans, they should nail the chance to get another 3 points against a depleted Volga team.
