Krylia Sovetov vs Krasnodar Match Prediction
Krylia Sovetov’s first encounter with a strong opponent in the current championship season resulted in a defeat for Magomed Adiev’s side. Overall, Krylia Sovetov have secured only two victories in their last nine RPL matches, making it challenging to expect a positive outcome against a historically difficult opponent. Krasnodar has avoided defeat against the Samara team in 10 of their last 12 direct confrontations at Krylia Sovetov’s home ground in the Premier League (3 wins, 7 draws). Furthermore, Murad Musaev’s squad is currently in significantly better form.
I also anticipate a low-scoring affair. While Krylia Sovetov have scored in all their games this season, Krasnodar’s defense could prove impenetrable for them. The southern team already has three clean sheets, the best record in the league, and rarely concedes in Samara. However, Krasnodar themselves have failed to score against Krylia Sovetov at their home ground in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head RPL clashes.
My prediction: “Krasnodar not to lose and Total Under 3.5 Goals” with odds of 1.73
