Command Analysis
CSKA Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
CSKA changed their coach in the summer in an attempt to hold the season at a higher level than the last one – several serious transfers were made under Marko Nikolic and the task is certainly to finish at least in third place in the table. The “army men” clearly have plans to win the Cup – in the current conditions, this is the only real chance to win the trophy.
Having played a few unimpressive matches at the start, https://www.pfc-cska.com/>CSKA gradually improved and moved from the middle of the table closer to the top three, the chances of ending up there by the end of the championship no longer look as illusory as they were a month ago. Since mid-September, CSKA has not lost either in the championship or in Cuba and is quite capable of achieving its goal based on the quality of its football.
However, in the last round, the "army men" lost points in a match where they were probably counting on taking the maximum. In the home match against "Fakel", CSKA clearly counted only on victory, but in the end failed to score and had to settle for a goalless draw. Thus, they have not yet been able to rise above the fifth line, but the third "Lokomotiv" is only four points away.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mukhin, Yakovlev and Zhemaletdinov were injured.

Spartak Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
Spartak approached the start of the season as a contender for the championship title – the Red-Whites certainly could not be the favorites in the championship race, but a fairly powerful transfer campaign indicated serious intentions. However, the lack of stability over the past seasons has been the team’s main problem and it has not been possible to get rid of it in the current season.
Already in the first match of the season, Spartak managed to lose 0:2 to Orenburg and there were plenty of such mistakes in the first round. Recently, the Red-Whites have looked quite decent and have suffered only one defeat in the last five matches, but one of them was quite painful - https://spartak.com/>Spartak lost 0:3 to Krasnodar at home. This is the third defeat in the championship, so overall the situation does not look like a disaster yet, but it will be difficult to claim anything more than third place.
In the last round, Spartak beat Paris NN away with a score of 2:0. The victory was not as easy as it may seem based on the score – the Nizhny Novgorod team defended skillfully and looked for their moments on counterattacks, but they were unlucky. These three points allowed Spartak to remain in sixth place in the table and there is a gap of six points from the third-placed Lokomotiv, but the leader Krasnodar has already broken ahead by 11 points.

CSKA has looked quite decent lately and managed to get almost right up to the third line, today the hosts will probably be set only for victory.

However, the “red-whites” have their trump cards up front and will clearly be counting on all three points – an exchange of goals is practically inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on the outcome
