CSKA Moscow vs Krylia Sovetov Predictions

It’s not been an amazing campaign for CSKA, who’re currently sat in 5th position, but they’re still in with a decent chance of qualifying for Europe. Viktor Goncharenko’s men are five points behind Krasnodar, which means that the Champions League is out of reach, though just a draw would ensure that they go into the Europa League qualifiers.

When they lost to Zenit a fortnight ago, CSKA appeared to be moving in the wrong direction, especially as that defeat meant that they’d gone three games without a win, though Sunday’s hosts bounced back at this venue recently, as they got the better of Akhmat by a goal to nil. On that occasion, they offered plenty going forward, posting 1.99 expected goals for, while they didn’t give a great deal away, as they conceded just 0.23.

CSKA haven’t always made light work of winning at home, but they’ve done well against the lesser sides. Goncharenko’s men are unbeaten in seven home games against the current bottom eight, five of which they’ve won. In such games, they’ve scored 16 goals and have conceded only five. Such a record is pleasing, especially when Krylia have struggled on the road.

While CSKA have done well at home against bottom-half teams, Samara have found it tough against top-half teams on their travels. Sunday’s visitors have won just one of their previous seven away games against the current top half. They’ve lost each of the other six. In those seven matches, they’ve conceded a whopping 17 goals and have scored just seven.

Given the above, CSKA could hardly have asked for a better game to end the campaign on. They’re up against a weak side that has struggled on the road, while they themselves have thrived in such games at home.

In the betting, ‘CSKA to Win & Both Teams to Score’ is a reasonable option. Going forward, CSKA have more than enough quality to outscore their opponents, though they’ve not always defended well in games such as this. After all, lowly sides like Yenisey and Ufa both came to this venue and got on the score-sheet, while the visitors have made a habit of scoring in defeat away against the top teams, notching against Lokomotiv, Spartak and Zenit this season.
