Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Spartak Moscow is 6.89, compared to 6.86 for Rubin. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Spartak Moscow's highest-rated starter is E. Barco (7.42), while Rubin's best-rated player is N. Gripshi (7.16).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Spartak Moscow have contributed 31 goals and 24 assists this season, led by P. Solari (8G). Rubin's starters account for 18 goals and 5 assists, spearheaded by M. Daku (10G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Spartak Moscow deploy 4 defenders rated 6.77 on average, against Rubin's 3-man backline averaging 6.86. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Spartak Moscow field 5 midfielders averaging 7.05, versus Rubin's 4 rated 6.84. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Spartak Moscow start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.71, compared to 3 for Rubin averaging 6.86. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 81% for Spartak Moscow and 69% for Rubin. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Spartak Moscow's starters have collected 45 yellow cards this season, compared to 40 for Rubin. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Spartak Moscow's starting XI is 25.8 (youngest: D. Denisov (23), oldest: A. Djiku (31)), while Rubin average 25.9 (youngest: V. Hodza (23), oldest: I. Vujacic (31)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Spartak Moscow's starters average 26 league appearances each, versus 20 for Rubin. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
