Match Prediction: Sochi vs. Krylya Sovetov
Sochi has had a challenging start to the season. Roberto Moreno's side has lost 4 out of 5 official matches (1 draw), but at least they have started scoring. The team's attacking play was particularly impressive in the cup match. Although Dynamo fielded a mixed lineup, Sochi's attacking activity was commendable. The club's goal-scoring streak in the Russian Cup stands at 9 matches, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 6 of these games.
Krylya Sovetov has had a productive start to the season. The club has not left the field without scoring, and only Paris NN prevented them from scoring, as they failed to score in their first three matches. In the first round of the national cup, Krylya Sovetov scored twice against Krasnodar. Overall, both teams have scored in 6 of the club's last 8 away matches in the Russian Cup.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
