Olimpiyets - Krasnodar predictions

There is a big reason why Olimpiyets are given 5.03 to win this game. They stand little to no chance emerging victorious against Krasnodar and anything but their defeat would be considered a miracle.

We are likely going to see Krasnodar triumph this Friday, though Olimpiyets do have a fighting chance. Maybe the home field advantage will be enough to spur them into a surprise draw or victory, though it’s not a probable outcome.

The hosts recorded a slim Akron win in the last Premier League round. Following a stalemate in the first half, the home crowd carried Olimpiyets forward and helped them score that extra goal that made all the difference in the end.

Krasnodar are keen to make amends for the last round’s disappointment. They conceded early and went trailing on the break. In the second half, the resilient Krylya Sovetov gave them a run for their money as the game ended in a 1:1 draw.

We can rely on the teams’ previous meeting as a point of reference. Earlier in the season, Krasnodar won a Premier League match against Olimpiyets in a relatively close game. With that in mind, the 1.68 odds on the visitors winning make a lot of sense.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.93 odds offered at Pncl.
