Spartak Moscow vs Krylya Sovetov Prediction & Betting Tips (19 September)

Supporters of Krylya Sovetov must be dreading going to watch their team play, with a recent return of just one point from a possible 33 serving to emphasise just how poor the side have been. Excluding the playoffs, Spartak Moscow have enjoyed nine wins in 14 home games at this level of late, so they will fancy their chances of chalking up another victory here.

Goals tend to be in short supply when Krylya Sovetov come calling in the Russian Cup, with under 2.5 being served up in 12 of their previous 14 away matches, including in each of the last six. Given that six of the most recent eight Spartak Moscow games at this level have also fallen into this low-scoring category, a thriller does not appear to be on the cards.

Witnessing goals at both ends has been pretty uncommon in recent Spartak Moscow home matches in the second tier, with just four of their last 20 contests being devoid of any clean sheets. Given that both teams have scored in only two of the ten away games played by Krylya Sovetov so far this season, it is hard to see that pattern changing here.
