The Matchday 14 clash in the Russian Premier League between Krasnodar and Spartak will take place on November 2 at the Ozon Arena. Krasnodar vs. Spartak: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Krasnodar
Murad Musayev's side defeated Rubin 1-0 at home in the last round. This victory marked the team's third consecutive win, and Krasnodar remains unbeaten in four league matches. Notably, they have not conceded a single goal during this stretch, which is currently the longest active clean sheet streak in the tournament. It is worth mentioning that Krasnodar scored with their only shot on target against Rubin, which is the lowest figure for the team this season (averaging 4.5). In the main standings, the club is in 1st place, leading their closest rival by two points.
- At least one opponent has failed to score in Krasnodar's last 5 Premier League matches.
- The team has won 10 of their last 12 home games in the Premier League (2 losses).

Match Prediction: Krasnodar vs. Spartak
This matchup is known for its competitiveness. The last draw between these opponents in the league was recorded in 2019. In the upcoming game, I agree with the bookmakers' odds, which see Krasnodar as the favorites. Murad Musayev's side is much more stable than the Moscow team, and Krasnodar rarely drops points at home. The team has not lost in 12 of their last 14 Premier League matches, securing 10 victories. Spartak, on the other hand, has earned 17 of their 22 points at home, and in the current championship, the capital club has only beaten Rubin away (2 draws, 2 losses). This is their only success against a top-half team in the standings.
Head-to-head matches between the teams are usually high-scoring. The upcoming clash is unlikely to be an exception. Although Krasnodar leads in clean sheets, they regularly concede against Spartak. Despite poor away results, Moscow has scored at least twice in 5 of their last 6 away Premier League matches. Meanwhile, in the RPL 2025/26, Dejan Stankovic's side has managed to shut out their opponents only once on the road. Such issues should be exploited by one of the most prolific clubs in the tournament.
My prediction: Krasnodar not to lose and Total over 1.5 goals
