Analysis and forecast for the match on matchday 19 of the Russian Championship “Rostov” – “Wings of the Soviets” (03/01/2024)
The Russian Premier League returns after the winter break. On March 1, the match that will open the program for matchday 19 of the Championship will take place. Local teams Rostov and Krylya Sovetov will compete at the Rostov Arena stadium. The starting whistle will sound at 19:00 Moscow time.
At the end of March, the Russian national team will play a match:
Russia-Serbia. They expect beautiful football from Karpin!
“Rostov” came to the winter break without the best mood: taking 10th place in the RPL standings. The distance with Akhmat, which is in the play-off zone for the right to maintain registration in the elite division, is four points. The yellows showed eye-pleasing collective football, but often lost points.
Valery Karpin’s team won only 5 of 18 matches in the Russian Championship and also finished tied in six matches. During this period, they scored 24 goals, which is a lot, but they lost even more – 29. Therefore, in winter, the Rostovites first decided to strengthen the defensive line with two foreign players: Umar Sako and Eyad El-Askalani. .
Brazilian soccer coach Ronaldo also joined the club. The transformed yellow-blues started their training camp quite well. In the RPL Winter Cup they confidently beat Shabab Al-Ahli (3:1) and also Spartak Moscow (3:0). Nikolai Komlichenko scored goals in both matches. One of the heads turned out very pretty.
It seemed that Karpin had corrected his mistakes and his players would resume the season well. However, confidence in this soon dissipated. In the last four friendly matches, the Rostovites only defeated Astana (1-0) and lost to Kairat (1-2), Pari NN (0-1) and Lokomotiv (1-3). As before, they made many defensive mistakes.
These teams’ matches are never boring:
“Spartak” – “Severstal”, first match. Let’s stock up on popcorn and don’t blink!
“The Wings of the Soviets”, on the contrary, went on winter vacation in a completely comfortable situation. They occupy sixth place in the Russian Championship standings. The difference with Dinamo Moscow, which occupies third place, is three points. But last season Samara fought to survive.
High-quality summer selection helped Igor Osinkin eliminate finishing problems and improve results. Samara lost only 5 of 18 matches in the RPL and finished in a draw in the same number of matches. During this period, they conceded 27 goals and scored 36, the most.
Nikita Saltykov scored 4 of these 36 goals. He also had the same number of assists. One of the main events of the winter was the transfer of the talented 19-year-old footballer to Lokomotiv. He will finish the season with Krylia Sovetov on loan and then re-register him.
This is not the first year that Moscow clubs and Zenit buy leaders from Samara, which naturally complicates Osinkin’s life. As soon as the coach fine-tunes the mechanisms and develops talented young players, the team immediately loses them. Previously, Ivan Sergeev, Maxim Glushenkov, Sergei Pinyaev and Anton Zinkovsky left under similar conditions.
It is good that, apart from Saltykov, Krylia Sovetov did not sell any of the main players over the winter. They ran the training camp pretty well. Osinkin’s team only lost to Dinamo Moscow (1-5) and also drew four times. They defeated Alania (3-1), Volgar (4-1) and Gostivar (3-1).
Be that as it may, we will not reveal the favorite of the next match. Teams may behave differently after the winter break. You can bet that “both will score” and the total will be more than 2.5 goals at bookmakers with odds of 2.10. Four of the last five direct confrontations were marked by this result.
Whoever is best prepared for the resumption of the season, the game promises to be very productive. Both teams are doing very well offensively, but they also have serious defensive problems. They allow too much in front of their goal.
Predictions and bets for the match RPL “Rostov” – “Krylya Sovetov” on March 1, 2024
HP + TB 2.5 goals seems to be the best option. Between them, in 18 meetings in the Russian championship, Rostov and Krylya Sovetov scored 60 goals, but they also lost a lot – 56 goals. The statistics of the teams’ performance on the training ground and the history of head-to-head confrontations anticipate a large number of goals from both sides.
Tender: both will score and the total will be more than 2.5 goals in 2.10.
