On the upcoming Monday, the central match of the Russian football championship’s third round will be held in Moscow. Spartak will host Krasnodar in the match. In this couple bookmakers have set the People’s team as the clear favorite of the upcoming game and it is hard to disagree with such action line, considering the fact, that the Bulls had a very energy-consuming match of the Europa League qualification against the Danish team Lyngby. Whereas it is important to remember, that the team plays in the Europa League for a few seasons now.
Spartak had a draw twice in the first two rounds within the Russian championship, both times in away games. At first, the People’s team played in Khimki against Dynamo and was leading after the first half 2:0 and it seemed, that they’ll get a victory. The result is 2:2. 0:0 in the second round in Ufa with a local team.
Unlike Spartak, Krasnodar gained two victories in the first two rounds. At first, the Bulls were stronger than Rubin, defeating the opponents with a result of 2:1, after that, Shalimov’s team took care of Tosno, 2:0. Krasnodar are on the second position in the Russian championship’s tournament table, falling behind the leading Zenit only by secondary indicators.
At the beginning of the season, Krasnodar show a more consistent football, unlike the acting champions of Russia, however the People’s team has an advantage in motivation. In this couple, a bet on a positive handicap of the outsiders looks like a decent option, the Bulls already have one away victory in the current season.
Prediction for the match: Krasnodar to win with +1.0 Asian handicap
