Match Prediction: CSKA Moscow vs. Krylia Sovetov
The "Army Men" stumbled in the last round, but I am confident the team will quickly bounce back. After their previous defeat, Fabio Celestini's side went on a three-match winning streak in the league, defeating two formidable opponents during this stretch. Krylia Sovetov generally serves as a favorable opponent for CSKA, with the Moscow team winning 7 of their last 9 encounters in the Premier League.
Magomed Adiev's side has struggled on the road, earning just one point in their last four league matches. They avoided another defeat thanks to a penalty scored in stoppage time. During this period, Krylia Sovetov conceded 9 goals. The team is not known for solid defensive play, and they will be missing several injured defenders in the upcoming match.
CSKA Moscow should redeem themselves for the previous round's result. My prediction: CSKA Moscow to win and Total Over 1.5 goals
