CSKA Moskva - Baltika predictions

The online bookies marked CSKA Moskva as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Baltika winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Baltika seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.60, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

CSKA Moskva won their most recent Premier League away game 1:3, so their fans have a lot to feel happy about. Interestingly, their opponents Sochi were leading by the end of the first half, but it seems the proceedings eventually ended the way most predictions expected them to.

Baltika earned a single point for the Premier League table tally in the previous round. While not catastrophic, the outcome is still widely considered a missed opportunity. After all, they had the advantage of playing at home on their side, and the betting odds certainly painted their victory as quite plausible.

CSKA Moskva’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 9 goals in the last three away games.

Baltika have yet to concede a goal over their 3 previous league matches. With that in mind, we would suggest staying away from Home Win or Both Teams to Score bets.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
