Command Analysis
FC Rostov
Russian FederationAlready in the first round, Rostov faced a very serious opponent, Dynamo Moscow. They made two mistakes in the first half which resulted in two conceded goals, and Rostov never recovered from that, despite multiple efforts. There were no chances against Zenit either - this time Rosotv scored twice, but that didn't help: they lost 2:4 at home to the defending champion.
Rostov could have scored their first victory in the third round under the management of Yuri Semin. At the beginning of the game, Nikolay Komlichenko used his chance and scored against Khimki. However, Rostov couldn't keep the advantage - in the middle of the second half, they conceded a penalty. The game ended in a draw (1:1).
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCSKA entered the new season under the management of Alexei Berezutsky. In the first round, the Army men beat Ufa 1:0 at home.

In the third round, CSKA opened the scoring against Dynamo but allowed the opponents to make a comeback in the second half. Dynamo scored two goals and defeated CSKA with a score of 1:2. CSKA currently occupy 10th place in the table, just two points above the relegation zone.

Tip and bets
Rostov look very weak at the start of the season, and the change of manager has not yet had any visible effect. As for CSKA, they also have been disappointing. Still, CSKA are a clear favorite in this fixture. The guests have a stronger squad with higher individual skills, and they should win.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to CSKA.
Last season, Rostov couldn't take a single point from CSKA, despite the setbacks of the Army team. It is unlikely that Rostov will be able to change this - CSKA are a stronger team, they are highly motivated and should get a win with a minimum advantage.
Our second bet - CSKA to win by 1 goal.
