Spartak Moscow vs Orenburg Prediction & Betting Tips (14 March)

Orenburg have found life on their Russian Cup travels extremely tough, with the Orenburg securing just some point from a possible 18, as well as failing to find the net on five occasions. Spartak Moscow, by way of contrast, have enjoyed seven wins in ten top-flight home games of late, and seven points from four matches overall hints at an upturn in form.

Five of the last six Spartak Moscow matches in the Russian Cup have served up two goals or more, so the promotion-chasing outfit have proven reasonably entertaining to watch in recent times. The same can be said of Orenburg on their second-tier travels, as eight of their last ten encounters have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so this clash is expected to deliver something similar.

Orenburg have certainly been bringing the entertainment recently, with eight of their previous nine Russian Cup matches serving up goals at both ends of the pitch. Given that this has also been the case in four of the last six Spartak Moscow home games at this elite level of the Russian Cup, more of the same is expected when the two teams lock horns.
