Today’s outsiders will not have the slightest chance of escape.
The second round of the Russian Cup group stage will continue today. Several very interesting matches await us. We present to your attention an express bet with a 9.59 odds.
Prediction for the match “Rubin” – “Zenit”
The teams have already met this season in the RPL. The St. Petersburgers crushed their opponents. They scored four unanswered goals, although the match took place in Kazan. After that, the Kazan team defeated Akron (4-0), lost to Khimki (2-3) and also drew away from home with Rostov (1-1). Rakhimov praised the players after the match against the Rostov team and noted that they have character.
How will Kazan’s players stop Zenit, who have improved significantly in the summer and have never lost points in the new season? It all started with a victory in the Russian Super Cup match against Krasnodar (4-2). Then, in addition to Rubin, the St. Petersburg team beat Krylia Sovetov (4-0), Rostov (5-0) and Dynamo Moscow (1-0) in the RPL. In the Russian Cup they beat Fakel (3-0).
Rubin is not a timid team, but there is a huge difference between it and Zenit. The history of head-to-head matches, the difference in squad composition and the quality of play predict a sure victory for the St. Petersburg team. We suggest betting on Zenit to win with a handicap (-1.5) at 2.45.
Prediction for the match CSKA – Paris NN
Based on the first five games of the season, we can say that overall the change of coach has not changed anything for CSKA. It remains unstable and vulnerable on the road. The red-and-blues defeated Pari NN (3-0) and Orenburg (5-1), but lost twice to Krasnodar (0-1 and 1-2), and also, not without luck, drew with Rostov (0-0). In all three cases, Marko Nikolic’s team lost points away from home. At home, CSKA plays completely differently. He constantly attacks with confidence and great strength.
Muscovites should not have any serious problems with Pari NN. Since the end of last season, the Nizhny Novgorod team has been going through a bad streak. In the new season, the Nizhny Novgorod club shows poor quality football. In addition to CSKA, they lost to Rubin (2:4) and Akhmat (1:4). After that, the Nizhny Novgorod team beat Dynamo Makhachkala (1:0) and Khimki (1:0). In both matches, they looked much worse than their opponent, despite the victories.
CSKA seems to be the clear favorite for the upcoming match. It is very dangerous at home. Pari NN cannot find itself. It shows an extremely incomprehensible game and misses a lot. If Khimki played with the Nizhny Novgorod team throughout the match and miraculously did not score, then the army team should win with greater confidence. You can bet that CSKA will win with a handicap (-1.5) by 2.15.
Prediction for the match “Krylya Sovetov” – “Spartak”
Krylia Sovetov from Samara is in a good mood for the upcoming match, having already secured their first win of the season over the weekend. In the fourth round of the Russian Championship, they beat Voronezh Fakel 2:0. This result is certainly encouraging. But, unfortunately, it is not possible to simply write off the results of past matches. That is four defeats in a row with an aggregate score of 1:11. Samara lost to the red-and-whites 0:3.
Revenge is not expected now. Spartak, after a not very impressive match against Orenburg (0:2) in the first round of the Russian Premier League, drew conclusions, rebuilt and managed a series of three victories with a total score of 9:1. Dejan Stankovic’s team stumbled in Akhmat with a 0:0 draw. The final zeros, of course, did not sit well with either the team or the fans.
It is reasonable to expect that the Samara team will play actively, especially on their own field and in front of their fans. From here on, there will be free zones for the capital’s footballers. We offer a bet on Spartak’s victory with a rate of 1.82.
