Analysis and prediction for the Russian Cup match “Khimki” – “Orenburg” (07/31/2024)
What is a joy for fans is a headache for the coaching staff of the RPL clubs. The group stage of the Russian Cup has begun, which means that the teams must correctly distribute their forces and use their resources. On July 31, the first round match of the RPL route between Khimki and Orenburg will take place. It starts at 16:00 Moscow time.
Stopping Zenit is a task with an asterisk:
“Zenit” – “False”. Blue-white-blue are invulnerable
The Red-Blacks started the new season in the Russian Premier League. They deserved it by winning the League One. But the management decided that the team would go further without Andrei Talalaev. As a result, the Spaniard Frank Artiga was invited to the post of head coach.
So far, the results are disappointing. In the match of the first round of the RPL, Khimki drew with Dynamo Makhachkala (1:1), and in the last match they lost to Spartak 1:3. It should be noted that in the game with the blue and whites, the red-blacks themselves became the culprits of the failure. They missed two penalties.
Frank Artiga’s team lost to the red-and-white team in all aspects. They allowed Spartak to take 25 shots on goal, of which 11 were on target. Miraculously, the red-and-blacks did not concede any more goals. They themselves only took two shots on goal. We will see what they will show in the Russian Cup.
“Orenburg” will show the real level of “Khimki” and Frank Artiga. The team started the season well. All thanks to David Deogracia, who was decided to keep as coach. He did an excellent job in the off-season, worked well with newcomers and immediately made a splash in the RPL.
Intriguing encounter:
“Ruby” – “Akron”. You can expect anything from Rakhimov and Tedeev
In the first round match, the Orenburg team defeated Spartak 2-0. They were faster and skillfully found free spaces in the red-and-white zone and beyond. The Citizens made more than twice as many shots on goal and on target. In the last match, the Deograsia team drew with Akhmat (0:0). The strengths of the teams were actually equal, but it was a pity that there were no goals.
The balance of power is extremely clear. Khimki has many problem areas, but Orenburg is doing well. In addition, the team is having a good transfer campaign. Recently, Galatasaray defender Kazymdzhan Karatash was acquired. If the “citizens” played so confidently against “Spartak”, which beat the red-blacks, what can we expect from them in the next match? Of course, they win at a rate of 3.10.
Predictions and bets for the Russian Cup match “Khimki” – “Orenburg” on July 31, 2024
Khimki needs changes and perhaps time to get used to Frank Artiga. “Orenburg” has been working with David Deogracia for a long time. Moreover, the newcomers show good football and quickly adapt to the coach’s tactics. But the acquisitions of older players have not helped the red-and-blacks yet. The conclusion is obvious: the victory of the “citizens”.
Tender: Orenburg wins in 3.10.
