Krasnodar started the season with 3 draws in a row, but their opponents were Akhmat, Dinamo Makhachkala and Fakel, so it can't be called a success. But in the last round the Bulls managed to get their first win, and over CSKA with the score 4-2.
Nizhny Novgorod nearly dropped out of the Premier League last season, and it even came down to the knockout rounds, but in the end the team managed to stay in the division. Nizhny Novgorod started the new season with two defeats, but the next two rounds were more successful.
Krasnodar look the clear favourite today, but it is still surprising to see such high odds on a goal from the visitors, as Nizhny Novgorod are more active in attack this season and score much more often, while Krasnodar have never been known for their stable defensive play.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 2.55
