Analysis and prediction of the RPL Russian Cup semi-final match CSKA – Baltika (04/16/2024)
The military team is the current champion of the Russian Cup and, apparently, decided to catch up with Lokomotiv in terms of victories in this tournament. On April 16, in the second leg of the RPL Path round of 16, CSKA will host Baltika at the VEB Arena. The game starts at 19:30 Moscow time.
How will such a close match end?
Osasuna-Valencia. Baraja maintains hope in the European competition
Vladimir Fedotov’s team won the first match against Sergei Ignashevich’s team 1:0. Víctor Dávila scored the only goal. For the red-blue it is important to simply build a reliable defense, spending a minimum of resources and energy, in order to reach the final of the RPL Path. For the Russian Cup matches, the CSKA coach has a special goalkeeper who has so far coped with the tasks perfectly.
This is, of course, Vladislav Torop. The 20-year-old student of Igor Akinfeev played clean sheets in the last two cup matches: against Rostov (2:0) and only against Baltika (1:0). Many already see the goalkeeper as the promising number one of the military team. Not even Akinfeev himself denies this. He plays an important role in the advancement of talent.
Overall, CSKA resumed the season after the winter break. The team is undefeated in its last seven games in all tournaments. The performance of the red and blue has increased significantly. In the last three RPL matches, the military team drew with Sochi (2-2) and Lokomotiv (3-3), and also defeated Fakel (4-1).
Tamerlan Musaev, who was bought in Baltika in winter, deserves a few flattering words about him. The 22-year-old forward is little by little settling in and starting to be useful. In the last two RPL games he scored a goal and gave an assist.

I wonder what Sergei Ignashevich will come up with? Also, taking into account that his team will play away from home. In the last match, Baltika played an incredible match with Akhmat. Kaliningrads simply dismantled the defense of the Grozny team and defeated their rivals 7-1. In the first half they managed to score five goals: the superiority was very great.
The author of the hat-trick was a newcomer to Ignashevich’s team, the Brazilian Fernández. Thus, the 21-year-old midfielder opened the scoring for Baltika. Let’s see how he plays next. However, don’t be fooled by the result of Kaliningrads’ latest impressive victory.
You can often observe a situation where a team that scored a lot in the last match suffers a defeat in the next match and cannot clear the opponent’s goal. Most likely, this is exactly the scenario that awaits us. We suggest taking a risk and betting that Baltika will not score at odds of 2.00. The army’s defense was too good in the Russian Cup and the Kaliningrad players ate a lot of goals in the last match.
Prediction and bets for the match CSKA – Baltika on April 16, 2024
The Kaliningraders exploded in the last match in the RPL against Akhmat and scored seven goals. Amazing! But it is unlikely that this has to do with the cup match against CSKA. The army plays very reliably, has an excellent team of goalkeepers and Torop played the last two matches of the tournament to zero. There is a feeling that Vladimir Fedotov will choose the only correct strategy – not to fail. And most likely he will succeed.
Tender: Baltika will not score at 2:00.
