Spartak Moskva - Ural predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.57 is a solid option. That said, Ural may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. Ural stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 6.52, marking an insurmountable difference.

Spartak Moskva were generally seen as the stronger team in their previous Premier League matchup, which didn’t stop them from grievously losing the game 0:2. They had the home advantage, too, which leaves us uncertain about their current form.

The visiting team are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat in their most recent home game, which was painful but quite expected. As a point of reference, top online bookmakers priced their victory at no less than 1.67, indicating they never had much of a shot in the first place.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Ural once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.56 odds offer a decent return.
