Krasnodar vs Baltika tips and predictions

All over bar the shouting for Krasnodar?

Krasnodar are currently in second place as they look ahead to hosting 14th place Baltika.

You can get a big price on Baltika because the home side won't be dwelling on any notion of defeat.

If their respective matches are an indication of what's to come, then Krasnodar have all the momentum on their side. The hosts have got 7 wins under their belt from their last 9 home games. Having lesser fortunes than expected, the travelling side has tasted defeat in 9 of their recent 13 matches on the road. Another defeat is on the cards for them here.

Krasnodar have scored at least once in all of their recent 16 home matches while also holding out when their backs have been against the wall. They have only conceded an average of 0.6 goals over their last 14 games at home. This clash will be a chance for them to keep a clean sheet again.

In front of goal, the visitors have been underwhelming. They've been goalless in 10 of their last 15 matches. Once battle commences the data could be irrelevant. If so they'll need to improve their finishing if they are to get the job done. You shouldn't count on it though.

It's felt that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet due to the favouritism for Krasnodar. If it plays out as many expect the No BTTS could be prudent.
