Rubin vs Spartak: the Muscovites to start with a victory?
Rubin beat Spartak in the last head-to-head match, but will the team from Kazan be able to defeat the Red-and-whites again on July 24? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Rubin Kazan
Russian FederationLast season, Rubin proved to be a very strong team - Leonid Slutsky's charges won a ticket to the European club competition in a bitter struggle. For a place in the top five, the club from Kazan competed against Sochi, CSKA, and Dynamo. Eventually, they finished fourth, earning the right to play in the Conference League.
The club has not been very active in the transfer market yet, but several important transitions have taken place. Carl Starfelt left for Celtic for 5 million euros. He was replaced by Sead Hakšabanović from Norrköping. Vladislav Ignatiev joined the club as a free agent. Rumors have it that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will leave for Sevilla or Borussia Mönchengladbach.
In July, Rubin played at the Parimatch Premier Cup, where they beat Khimki (1:0) and suffered two defeats from Spartak (0:4) and Sochi (1:3).
Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationLast season Spartak fought for the championship title but in the end, they finished second, losing the gold medals to Zenit. Moreover, the Red-and-whites could have lost the second line, too, and with it the tickets to the Champions League. Spartak held out against Akhmat (2:2) in Grozny and overtook Lokomotiv by one point.
In the offseason, Domenico Tedesco left the club and was replaced by the Portuguese manager Rui Vitoria. So far, Spartak didn't have any big transfers, except for Victor Moses, who was finally bought from Chelsea. The Dutch midfielder Gus Thiel went to Feyenoord on loan.
Very soon, Spartak will play against Benfica in the Champions League qualification. The Red-and-whites were preparing for this game by participating in the Parimatch Premier Cup. They won the trophy again: Spartak beat Sochi and Rubin with the same score of 4:0, and in the last game they crushed Khimki (5:1).

Tip and bets
Spartak had a very thorough pre-season training - at the Parimatch Premier Cup, they showed that they are already in good form. We would like to point out that the attack of the Red-and-whites has scored 13 goals in three games. This is a great result even for test matches. Rubin is still far from optimal form, plus they have failed to beat Spartak in Kazan for eight games. We doubt they will be able to break this streak today.
We believe that guests have a better chance of winning. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Spartak.
For those who prefer to take risks, we offer a bet with higher odds - Spartak's victory with a difference of one goal. Spartak won over Rubin with the difference of one goal in six out of seven official games.
