Torpedo Moscow vs Baltika Prediction & Betting Tips (16 October)

Struggling Torpedo Moscow have found the going pretty tough on their own patch of late, winning only four times in 17 attempts in the Russian Cup, not to mention suffering some defeats in their previous ten games. Baltika have endured few such difficulties on the road, enjoying eight successes over the course of their last 13 away matches at this level.

Over the course of their last 10 matches at the top table of the Russian Cup, Torpedo Moscow have been involved in eight encounters in which under 2.5 goals have been scored. Given that 13 of the previous 17 Baltika away games at this elite level have followed the same pattern, anyone expecting this clash to serve up more than two goals is likely to be disappointed.

Torpedo Moscow have played four matches since securing their place in the Russian Cup, with no fewer than three of these encounters producing a clean sheet at one end of the pitch. This has also been the case in seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Baltika, so any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
