Rubin vs. Krylia Sovetov: Match Prediction
Rubin played their last two matches away and managed to collect just one point. This is not surprising, as the team struggles on the road. However, their home form is significantly better. Rashid Rakhimov's side has avoided defeat in 12 of their last 13 home league games, winning 10 of them.
Krylia Sovetov has not been impressive in this season's league. The team has secured only three victories (3 draws, 4 losses), with two of those wins coming against Sochi and Pari NN, two of the league's bottom teams. Their away form is even less promising, with just one win in their last 8 away league matches, against Rostov.
Krylia Sovetov ranks among the league's bottom four in terms of goals conceded. In their last 6 RPL matches, they managed a clean sheet only against Sochi, conceding 16 goals in this period. Rubin, who have no issues creating chances, will look to exploit Krylia Sovetov's defensive vulnerabilities.
My prediction: Rubin will not lose and Total Over 1.5 goals
