Detailed Match Prediction: Rubin Kazan vs Krylya Sovetov

Rubin Kazan played their last two league matches away from home, managing to secure only one point. This is hardly surprising, as the team often struggles on the road. However, Rubin’s performance at their home ground is significantly stronger. Rashid Rakhimov’s men have remained unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 home league games, recording an impressive 10 victories.

Krylya Sovetov’s performance in the current championship has been underwhelming. The team has secured only three victories (three draws, four losses) so far. Furthermore, two of these wins came against Sochi and Pari NN, who are considered two of the league’s weaker sides. Away from home, Krylya Sovetov’s struggles are even more pronounced, with their only victory in the last eight Premier League matches coming against Rostov.

The Samara side is among the bottom four teams in the league for goals conceded. In their last six RPL fixtures, the club only managed to keep a clean sheet against Sochi, conceding a total of 16 goals during this period. Rubin Kazan, who have generally shown good offensive creativity, are likely to capitalize on their opponent’s defensive vulnerabilities.

My refined prediction for this match is: Rubin Kazan to not lose (1X) and Total Goals Over 1.5, with odds of 1.60.
