Command Analysis
Fakel
Russian FederationCurrent form
Fakel is clearly failing the season and is unable to succeed either in the Cup or in the championship. In the Premier League, in the last round, Dmitry Pyatibratov's team achieved its first victory, beating Orenburg 1:0 at home. However, even three points did not help them leave the last place in the table; the season is going to be extremely difficult. In the Cup, after two rounds, the "blue-whites" are in the last place in the group, without a single point to their credit.

Igor Kalinin is injured.

1.91Tip and bets
"Fakel" got their first victory in the championship and the Cup is definitely not a priority for the "blue-whites" now, to put it mildly, especially since the first two matches were lost. "Rubin" has improved, won the last two matches and overall looks quite decent in the game, both teams will probably use rotation today, but even in this situation Kazan is capable of taking three points.
We believe that the visitors have a better chance of winning. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (0) for Rubin . This bet is offered for 1.91
Bet on total
Rubin will undoubtedly play openly and will certainly try to aim for all three points, which could seriously help in the fight for second place. Fakel, which is clearly using rotation, has minimal chances to play reliably in defense, but at the same time the blue-whites have nothing much to lose, and the hosts will certainly take risks as well – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.90
Bet on total
Fakel will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Rubin is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
