Analysis and forecast for the match of the 25th day of the Russian Championship “Baltika” – “Wings of the Soviets” (04/20/2024)
Three interesting matches are scheduled for April 20 on matchday 25 of the Russian Championship. In one of them, at the Rostec Arena in Kaliningrad, Baltica will host Krylia Sovetov. The starting whistle will sound at 16:30 Moscow time.
Magnitogorsk did not celebrate for long:
“Metallurg” – “Lokomotiv”, second match. The Yaroslavl team will enter the game
After convincingly beating Akhmat (7-1) on the last round of the Russian Championship, Baltika left the relegation zone. He rose to 14th place in the championship standings. Will Sergei Ignashevich seize the opportunity to maintain his elite residency? Will he have a chance to avoid the play-off zone?
The former CSKA defender works tirelessly for Kaliningrad’s progress. Thanks to his efforts, the team’s football pattern has improved a lot and his character has also emerged. She constantly creates many opportunities. True, this does not always help to hold on to the glasses.
Baltika’s problem is the lack of resources. Winter transfers didn’t help much. Almost all the club’s players have poor finishing and little experience playing in the RPL. Therefore, immediately after a certain victory in the meeting with Akhmat, who was in a terrible crisis, they were defeated in the usual way.
In the second leg of the round of 16 of the RPL route of the Russian Cup, Kaliningrad lost to CSKA (0:2). They lost possession of the ball and also took fewer shots, even on goal. In the first match with the army team, Baltika was defeated 0-1.
Artyom can’t cope:
“Rubin” – “Lokomotiv”. Why Dziuba if Glushenkov is there?
Kaliningrad residents are not afraid of strong opponents. They regularly impose competition on teams at the top of the standings. It’s just that you can’t get the result. Ignashevich’s team lost the match of the 6th round of the RPL against the “Wings of the Soviets” with 1:2.
In the middle of the season, the Samara team experienced a decline. They suffered a series of defeats and fell to the middle of the standings. What helped Igor Osinkin recover was not the winter, but the brief international break in March. After him, the club began to play in a completely different mood.
In the last three rounds of the Russian Championship, Krylya Sovetov tied with the leader Zenit (1-1), defeated Ural (2-1) and Rubin (2-0). Osinkin little by little allocates more and more playing time to the newly arrived coach acquired in the winter: Franco Orozco.
Over many years of work, Osinkin has perfected football of no less quality than that which Ignashevich delivered to Baltika. Last season, “The Wings of the Soviets”, like the residents of Kaliningrad, suffered great disappointment at the end. Only one acquisition helped improve the coach’s situation: Nikita Saltykov.
The 19-year-old midfielder was shortlisted for the Golden Boy award. He has a great influence on Krylya Sovetov’s game. In 22 games in the RPL, Saltykov scored four goals and gave the same number of assists, but performance is not the most important thing.
Thanks to Saltykov’s technique, Osinkin had the opportunity to open the defense even of opponents who have a very reliable defensive game. If Nikita doesn’t help develop a scoring attack, he will likely earn a penalty or a free kick, leading to a goal. The only bad thing is that at the end of the season he will leave for Lokomotiv.
You can bet that Krylya Sovetov will not lose to Baltika and that the total will be less than 3.5 goals at bookmakers with odds of 1.88. Five of the last six head-to-head meetings ended this way. The other team faced each other in the Russian Cup.
Ignashevich has a lot of credibility. It is clear that in each match his players give their best, as if each match were a final. Until now, Kaliningrads rarely manage to win. In 23 games in the RPL they only achieved five victories, less than Sochi, which closes the championship standings.
Predictions and bets for the RPL match “Baltika” – “Krylya Sovetov” on April 20, 2024
Baltika continues to fight for survival. The team looks composed and pleasant, but victories always elude them due to poor execution. Krylia Sovetov knows what it is. They passed this stage thanks to Osinkin’s ability to reveal talents. The distance results and the history of head-to-head confrontations are completely on the side of the Samara team. I think at least they won’t lose and there won’t be too many goals.
Tender: Krylia Sovetov will not lose and the total will be less than 3.5 goals for 1.88.
