Competition: Russia Premier League

Match begins: 17:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion FK Krasnodar (35074 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Krasnodar find themselves in 6th position and CSKA Moskva are placed 7th.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Krasnodar and CSKA Moskva.

These teams have little in common geographically as CSKA Moskva have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Krasnodar form and stats

The hosts won their first Premier League game here at Stadion FK Krasnodar, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Krasnodar last season were 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses from 15 games.

Krasnodar lost their last game at Ural (placed 9th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Arsenal Tula.

This is expected to be a close game, with Krasnodar perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Krasnodar as a small favourite), we find four games. Krasnodar has won one of these, drawn one and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Rostov are coming to town in four days.

At Stadion FK Krasnodar, Krasnodar has the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

CSKA Moskva form and stats

CSKA Moskva are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Moskva failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Rubin Kazan (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Prior to that match, the CSKA Moskva manager V. Goncharenko faced defeat when travelling to Zenit and losing 1-2.

Moskva were so close to getting something from the game against Rubin Kazan, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by CSKA Moskva in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Moskva, three draws and one defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Moskva now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Akhmat Grozny is waiting in only four days.

It's early days yet, but CSKA Moskva has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Krasnodar victories, four draws and three CSKA Moskva wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
