Prediction

A devastating loss to the hands of Manchester City has done little to restore pride or confidence to a depleted CSKA side. They need to bounce back with a strong showing, and a game against Terek could be the perfect remedy.
Terek have been ever so gradually improving their fortunes, with a recent string of draws, but this is still a team that faces a major battle to avoid relegation. Goals are a fundamental concern, which appears unlikely to be solved soon.
This game is reliant upon which CSKA side shows up. The quality that the home side possess should see them prevail fairly easily, however it’s a trying encounter for this CSKA team and they must stand up and be counted sooner rather than later.
