Rostov vs. Krylia Sovetov: Match Prediction
Rostov has had a tough start to the season with two away games against medal contenders. Although they failed to earn points, their performance was respectable. Now they await their first home game, where they have not lost in 5 of their last 8 league matches (3 wins, 2 draws), with defeats only coming against last season's top-four teams.
Krylia Sovetov, on the other hand, started the season on a brighter note, but both matches were played within the Samara region. Away from home, they have won only once in their last 8 league games (4 draws, 3 losses) and have lost in their last 5 visits to Rostov in the Premier League.
I also expect goals in the upcoming match. Rostov regularly scores at home against various opponents, while Krylia Sovetov has a 5-match scoring streak away, having kept just one clean sheet in away games last season.
My prediction: Rostov will not lose and Total Over 1.5 goals
