Krylya Sovetov - Olimpiyets predictions

Krylya Sovetov are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.93 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Olimpiyets may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Olimpiyets who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Krylya Sovetov supporters did not exactly have high hopes heading into the Premier League last round’s match. Their team was made a huge underdog but still managed to hold on for a draw in the first half, thus raising the expectations from their fans. In the end, a narrow Dinamo Moskva defeat on a tough trip is nothing to be too disappointed about.

Olimpiyets lost their clash with Krasnodar in the previous round, but their performance was fairly decent all things considered. They ended the first half with an unexpected lead but narrowly lost the match 2:1. Considering the 1.43 odds on a home win for Krasnodar, things could have been much worse.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at Samara Arena.

With 7 goals in Olimpiyets’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

We’ll have to go with last season’s results as a basis for head-to-head statistics and those were full of surprising results. Despite their current status as underdogs, Olimpiyets won a match in the previous season with a considerable advantage.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
