Torpedo Moscow vs CSKA Moscow tips and predictions

Away side too short in betting for Russian Cup fixture

It could be a bitter pill to swallow for fans of the visiting team, but they are just too short to back.

Torpedo Moscow will use any means necessary to add another L to the CSKA Moscow's recent results. On the road the visitors have been far from stellar; they've lost 3 of their last 5 away trips. For such a short priced team you might have wanted a better return than this.

While not necessarily enough to upset the odds Torpedo Moscow have some reasons for hope. They have scored at least once in all of their recent 7 home matches while kudos is also due for their defence. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 12 home games.

CSKA Moscow have actually conceded two or more goals in 3 of their last 5 matches. Further, there could be signs that their total goals expectation is in a slump. Netting an average of just 0.6 goals in their last 5 away matches, creating match-winning chances is proving elusive for CSKA Moscow.

It's not a very confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up in deadlock. If CSKA Moscow stamp their authority on the match they are also likely to keep a clean sheet. It isn't a strong view so it isn't one to get stuck into but the No BTTS bet is fair enough. And taking a look at the goal line, it's more than two goals for this one after weighing up the chances of all outcomes.
