Balanced ball game between Rostov and Krylya Sovetov expected

These teams have little in common geographically as Krylya Sovetov have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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 Rostov and Krylya Sovetov.

Rostov form and stats

Rostov's results here at Rostov Arena in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 7 defeats. Three consecutive losses here at Rostov Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The Rostov crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Olimpiyets here at Rostov Arena. Poloz, a forward, was the best player for the team in that game, earning a rating of 7.51 (out of 10). Poloz served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total).

Before that, Rostov played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Dinamo Moskva.

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

The match schedule is unforgiving for Rostov as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Lokomotiv Moskva are visiting.

A decent goal production from Rostov in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 11 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Krylya Sovetov form and stats

4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Krylya Sovetov playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

The manager Osinkin was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Samara Arena. Sovetov suffered a 1-2 loss to Ufa (placed 13th). Midfield player Costanza was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.23/10. Costanza scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 66 successful passes (of 72 total).

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Zenit.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Krylya Sovetov playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Krylya Sovetov wins, two draws and zero defeats.

Krylya Sovetov have another match that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a Premier League match against Ural. A hard calendar for the visiting team!
