Spartak Moskva - Rostov predictions

Spartak Moskva 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 Rostov winning, though.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Spartak Moskva and the 5.24 odds given to Rostov to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Things took a turn for the worse early on in Spartak Moskva’s last away match. They went behind during the first 45 minutes and never managed to get back into the match. In the end, they suffered a heavy Lokomotiv Moskva defeat.

A 0:2 defeat is not something Rostov expected when it comes to their previous league match. They were clear favourites to claim a win but ended up disappointing their fans. Therefore the Saturday clash is a perfect opportunity to bounce back.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Spartak Moskva will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

As far as the recent history of this matchup goes, the records show a decisive victory by Spartak Moskva last season. They even secured a solid lead, which is part of the reason most bookies consider them to be the favourites in this matchup.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

A Home Win bet is the obvious answer here, especially at the odds of 1.57. While the returns won’t be as great, the bet is as safe as they come.
