In one of the central matches of the 4th round of the Russian championship, the players of Rostov and CSKA Moscow will play. Which of the opponents will get the victory in the upcoming confrontation?
"Rostov"
It is unlikely that Rostov assumed that the beginning of the season would be so eventful. It all started with the appointment of Valery Karpin as the head coach of the Russian national team. At first, he was sure that he would be able to combine work in the club and the national team, but very soon it became clear that this idea was the most unsuccessful. After two defeats from Dynamo and Zenit, Karpin left, and Yuri Semin was appointed instead. With the new mentor, the Rostov residents managed to play a match with Khimki, in which they painted the world-1:1.
CSKA Moscow
And what about CSKA? Unlike Rostov ,the level of expectations here is completely different. So far, the "army" are disappointing with their game. And most of all, Alexey Berezutsky is worried here, who, apparently, is confused about what kind of football the current CSKA should play in order to show positive results. In the meantime, the "army men" play primitively. In the three opening games, the team suffered two defeats, losing in the derby to Lokomotiv and Dynamo. Is the next coaching rotation just around the corner?
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Dolgov (knee), Sou (injury) - both "Rostov". Fuchs (in the national team), Magnusson (surgery), Schennikov (calf injury) - all CSKA.
- Under question:
- Gogua (muscle injury), Zabolotny (muscle injury) – all CSKA.
Statistics and figures:
- "Army men" - the favorites of the meeting;
- Rostov cannot win in the last 4 matches;
- CSKA lost the previous 2 games;
- The last face-to-face meeting between the rivals ended with a score of 3:1 in favor of CSKA.
Forecast
I am sure that none of the goalkeepers will be able to keep their gates intact. Both Rostov and CSKA will be noted for scoring goals, given the fact that each of the teams has a chance to distinguish themselves in attack. Our bet will be dedicated to goals.
