Krasnodar vs. Spartak: Match Prediction
This encounter is known for its uncompromising nature. The last draw in the championship between these opponents was recorded in 2019. In the upcoming game, I agree with the bookmakers' odds, which favor Krasnodar. Murad Musayev's side is much more stable than the Muscovites, and on their home turf, Krasnodar rarely drops points. The team has not lost in 12 of their last 14 RPL matches, winning 10 of them. Spartak, on the other hand, has earned 17 of their 22 points at home, and in the current championship, the Moscow 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 encounters between the teams are often high-scoring. The upcoming match is unlikely to be an exception. Although Krasnodar is among the leaders in clean sheets, they regularly concede against Spartak. Despite weak away results, the Muscovites have scored at least twice in 5 of their last 6 away games in the Premier League. Moreover, Dejan Stankovic's side has not managed to keep a clean sheet away from home in the RPL 2025/26. Such defensive issues should be exploited by one of the most prolific teams in the tournament.
My prediction: Krasnodar will not lose and Total over 1.5 goals
