Krylya Sovetov vs. Orenburg: Match Prediction
The Samara side ended their four-match scoring streak in the Premier League last round, but scoring against Rubin away is quite challenging. At home, Krylya Sovetov have scored in 8 of their last 10 RPL matches. During this period, they failed to score only against Spartak and Krasnodar. However, Magomed Adiev's team lacks defensive reliability. In the current championship, the club has kept only two clean sheets, and at home, they have conceded in 11 of their last 14 matches in this tournament.
Disappointing results have led to changes in Orenburg's coaching staff. Ildar Akhmetzyanov, who has taken charge of the team, is a proponent of attacking football, and it's likely that Orenburg will soon start to play more aggressively in attack. Even without the new coach, the club has scored in 6 of their last 7 league matches. However, the new coach will also need to improve the defense: Orenburg is third from the bottom in terms of goals conceded in the RPL 2025/26, and away from home, the team has failed to keep a clean sheet in 15 consecutive Premier League matches.
Additionally, both teams have scored in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head league meetings. This is another factor in favor of the prediction Both teams to score – yes.
