On Saturday, in one of the matches of the 11th round of the Russian Premier League, Khimki Moscow Region will play at home with CSKA Moscow. We present to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
Khimki
After the arrival of Spartak Gogniev to the coaching bridge, the situation did not significantly improve for them. There was hope for this when the team drew at home with Samara Wings of the Soviets (0:0), and then only in a penalty shootout lost in the Russian Cup away to Nizhny Novgorod Pari NN (1:1). In the second half of September, Khimki lost away to Krasnodar (1:3), and in the home cup meeting they were defeated by Lokomotiv Moscow (0:5).
CSKA
The Army team gave out a wonderful stretch from mid-August to mid-September, giving out a 7-match winless streak with six victories. In September, they sorted out the capital derby with Torpedo (2-0) on the road in a cup match, and then beat Samara Krylia Sovetov (1-0) away in the championship. Then there were two home victories – in the RPL over Krasnodar (4:1), and in the Russian Cup over Ural (2:1). But in the last round, Vladimir Fedotov's team sensationally lost to Torpedo in Luzhniki (0:1). This Wednesday, CSKA beat Sochi (2-1) in the cup meeting on their own field.
Statistics and figures
- Khimki have a 9-match winless streak (2 draws + 7 defeats);
- In three of the last five matches, Khimki have conceded at least three goals;
- Khimki have a 5-match winless streak at home (1 draw + 4 defeats), scoring only 1 goal in them;
- Khimki have a 3-match unbeaten streak in head-to-head matches with CSKA (1 win + 2 draws);
- CSKA has won 6 matches out of the last seven, losing only once;
- In three of the last four matches of CSKA, the bet was "Both teams will score + Total more than 2.5";
- In the last four away matches of CSKA, the bet was "At least one will not score + The Total is less than 2.5".
Forecast
The "Army men" are unlikely to allow themselves to lose the second match in a row against one of the outsiders. Muscovites should play as carefully as possible in defense, as they usually do recently on the road, and in attack they will definitely wait for their chance. In such a situation, there are two options for betting on this meeting.
