Krylya Sovetov vs Spartak Moscow Prediction & Betting Tips (14 August)

Krylya Sovetov currently find themselves on an 11-game winless run at the top table of the Russian Cup, and five of their last nine encounters have ended in defeat. The contrast with Spartak Moscow could not be much more striking, so all the signs point in one direction.

Spartak Moscow have featured 19 times since they were last involved in a scoreless draw at the top table of the Russian Cup, with these contests yielding a grand total of 56 goals. What’s more, 19 of the previous 19 Russian Cup fixtures involving Krylya Sovetov have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so any deviation from this script would come as a surprise.

Over the course of their last 15 Russian Cup matches, Spartak Moscow have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving Krylya Sovetov.
