Sochi - Spartak Moskva predictions

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Sochi on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Spartak Moskva are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.67 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Sochi are coming on the back of an away draw (2:2) in the previous round against Rostov . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Sochi considering the 1.96 odds on them.

Spartak Moskva are coming off of an unexpected away win in their latest away game at Dinamo Moskva. They came back after a difficult first half, which is made even more impressive if you consider that top online bookmakers gave them 2.97 odds to win.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

This matchup tends to go the obvious way. By that, we’re referring to the previous instance when these two squads clashed in the current season. Spartak Moskva walked away with a comfortable win.

We recommend keeping it safe with a Double Chance for Away or Draw. There are minor risks involved, mind you, but the 1.54 odds are enough to make the bet worth taking.
