Sochi - CSKA Moskva predictions

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Sochi are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

Having a 1.69 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with CSKA Moskva largely expected to beat Sochi, you’d be wise to use it.

Sochi were hoping they would be able to pull a surprise in their last Premier League game. That was the impression after the first half at least when Sochi had it all level on a difficult outing. However, they were unable to fight the pressure off and ended up suffering a proper beating in the second half for a convincing Krylya Sovetov away defeat.

CSKA Moskva played against Rostov, with most online bookies pricing their victory at around 2.12. They had a decent shot considering the home-field disadvantage but failed to gain momentum and ultimately recorded a narrow HT/FT defeat.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Sochi’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Monday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.
