Krylia Sovetov vs. Krasnodar: Match Prediction
The first match against a strong opponent in the current championship resulted in a defeat for Magomed Adiev's side. Krylia Sovetov have won only two of their last nine RPL matches, and it will be challenging for them to secure a positive result against a difficult opponent. Krasnodar have not lost to Krylia Sovetov in 10 of their last 12 Premier League meetings on their field (3 wins, 7 draws), and Murad Musaev's team is currently in better form.
I also anticipate a low-scoring match. Yes, Krylia Sovetov have scored in every game this season, but Krasnodar's defense could prove impenetrable. The southern team already has three clean sheets, the best in the league, and they rarely concede in Samara. However, Krasnodar themselves have failed to score against Krylia Sovetov in 4 of their last 5 away RPL meetings.
My prediction: Krasnodar will not lose and Total under 3.5 goals
