Spartak Moskva - Sochi predictions

Spartak Moskva are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.32, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Sochi stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 9.07 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Spartak Moskva earned another 3 points for the tally in the last round’s bout against Rubin Kazan'. They played as the away team, but most Premier League betting predictions saw their victory as the most likely outcome despite the lukewarm first half which saw the two teams tied at halftime.

Previously in the Premier League, Sochi recorded an HT/FT home defeat with a considerable 0:2 goal difference. Most bookies saw them as the clear underdogs before kick-off, though, so the fact that they were trounced is hardly surprising.

Sochi may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
