Orenburg - CSKA Moskva predictions

Orenburg are no strangers to surprises but with 4.82 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

If you’re just looking for a simple 1X2 football bet, we suggest backing the away team in this match. CSKA Moskva are clearly more likely to win this matchup, though Orenburg are more than able to put up a good fight.

The hosts are coming off from an important, morale-boosting victory. Orenburg were not expected to come with a full bag of spoils from their latest Premier League trip but a first-team lead ended up making a big difference in the end for a Olimpiyets HT/FT triumph.

CSKA Moskva showcased respectable form in the second half of their previous home outing against Dinamo Moskva, though the first half was a bit lacking. The match-up was only slightly in their favour, so the final 3:1 victory means they performed above expectations.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Orenburg have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from CSKA Moskva in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, CSKA Moskva already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 4.74 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
