Krasnodar - Fakel predictions

Krasnodar are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Fakel winning, though.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Krasnodar and the 5.91 odds given to Fakel to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Krasnodar are here on the back of a narrow 1:2 home loss against Zenit . Krasnodar were considered hard underdogs in that matchup, however, and the lead the held on to after the first half was more surprising than the final result.

The visiting team went into their previous Premier League matchup as the clear underdogs, with prices on them winning floating around 2.50. They kept up with their opponents for a good chunk of the match and maintained a draw, but eventually conceded and recorded a 0:1 home loss.

Krasnodar’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Premier League matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The only noteworthy trend we can note for Fakel is that their latest two home games ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals market. You should probably keep this in mind when choosing the most suitable bet for this fixture.

Fakel and Krasnodar tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Krasnodar are still considered more likely to come out on top this Friday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

This Friday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

The 1xbet sportsbook is offering 1.80 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
