Orenburg - Fakel predictions

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Fakel can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

Fakel are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Fans will have been rather disappointed to see their team suffer a minimum-deficit defeat in the previous Premier League clash. Their hopes were alive during the first 45 minutes when Orenburg held their ground for a draw. However, that one goal made all the difference in the end.

Fakel are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of Zenit. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 8.32 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: Fakel struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 0:2.

Orenburg previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the Premier League and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 2.30.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.
