Sochi - CSKA Moskva predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Sochi on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

CSKA Moskva should be able to win this one, but such an outcome won’t come easily. The 2.22 betting odds on them winning indicate that it will be a close match - Sochi are no pushovers.

An away win from the last Premier League round would have been a proper surprise for Sochi supporters. Despite the unfavourable betting odds (4.51) Sochi were leading the way by the halftime mark. However, they let a potentially big win split through their fingers having to settle for a Lokomotiv Moskva draw.

Online bookmakers expected CSKA Moskva’s previous away game to be a close call, with relatively long odds on both sides. However, they quickly earned a lead and carried it forward to a $RESULT victory – an excellent result considering the home-field disadvantage.

CSKA Moskva won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Saturday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.70.
