Match Prediction for Orenburg vs. Krasnodar
Orenburg has earned both of their points this season at home, but securing another positive result will be challenging. They face a formidable opponent who ranks third in away performance in the Russian Premier League 2024/25. Krasnodar has defeated Orenburg in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head encounters in the Premier League and has won 5 of their previous 7 away matches in this tournament. Murad Musaev's side only lost to CSKA and Zenit in this period.
Orenburg has struggled defensively for a while, conceding in 11 of their last 12 league matches, with at least two goals in half of those games. Krasnodar, on the other hand, has failed to score in just one Russian Premier League match this calendar year. They have scored five goals in the current tournament and rank 4th in creating goal-scoring opportunities. Additionally, Krasnodar has scored at least twice in 6 of their last 7 league encounters with Orenburg.
Considering these factors, my prediction is: Krasnodar to win and Total Over 1.5 goals
