Aron Wright - August 24, 2020
FC Krasnodar vs CSKA Moscow
Russia – Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 26 August 2020
Kick-off at 18:30 UK/ 19:30 CET
Venue: Krasnodar Stadium.
Both teams have been displaying erratic form all through the last several weeks, and in fact the only consistent factor from these performances have been their offense.
To put it precisely – while the results have varied over the course of the past many match-days, either team has managed to score goals in plenty, and have built quite some momentum in that regards.
Interestingly, their preceding h2h clashes too have shown this same tendency, and as a result, the basic expectation from this upcoming game is for both teams to slot in goals.
Murad Musayev’s men scored two or more goals in three of their preceding five fixtures, and they did the same in seven of their former ten appearances at this stadium.
Meanwhile, their counterparts found the back of the net twice or more in five of their previous ten overall fixtures, and impressively in nine of their last twelve road trips.
Going on, eleven of the former fifteen overall h2h meetings had goals from both teams, and both teams have failed just twice to score goals at this ground over the past ten years.
In addition, either team is desperate for a win this Wednesday, and we can count on them to look for the win, rather than be content with a draw.
Coupling this mentality with the in-form offense from both sides – we expect goals to come from both teams this match-day.
