Command Analysis

FC Rostov

Current form
Rostov is currently in good playing form. The team has won three previous rounds, and it all started with a victory over Spartak in the first quarterfinal match. After that, there were victories over Khimki (3:1) and Moscow CSKA (2:1). While Rostov attack is in perfect order, their defense is clearly not perfect, as evidenced by seven goals conceded in the last six matches played.
In April of this year, the teams played each other for the last time at this arena, and then Rostovites were knocked out with a bang in front of local fans with a score of 1:5. Revenge was taken in the last away match, but now they need to improve their advantage on their home field, so as not to give their opponent a chance to reach the next round of the Russian Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
El-Alaskany and Mironov are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Rostov have won their last three matches
- The hosts have conceded in six of their last seven meetings
Estimated line-up: Yatimov - Langovich, Melehin, Osipenko, Chernov - Glebov, Kuchaev, Shchetinin - Komarov, Golenkov, Mohebi.

Spartak Moscow

Current form
Spartak is showing excellent play. After difficult matches with CSKA and Lokomotiv in the championship, the team is focused on the Cup, where under the leadership of Dejan Stankovic it shows stable results.
Having finished the group stage in first place, the Muscovites confidently declared their ambitions, but in the very first match of the quarterfinals they made a mistake, losing on their home field to the upcoming opponent (0:1). In this confrontation, they will miss Ryabchuk, who received a red card in the previous game. Fortunately, the coaching staff has a replacement for this important key figure.

We believe that the defeat on their home field will not knock the guests off their game spirit, and confident victories over Tolyatti Akron (4:0) and Moscow Lokomotiv (5:2) in the national championship indicate that the Muscovites will be able to win this match, confirming their status as favorites.

Bet on total
Rostov have scored in seven games in a row, while Spartak have scored in eight of their last ten encounters. These figures suggest that both Rostov and Moscow are likely to score in this match. The visitors need to move forward. They only need a win, while the hosts will have no choice but to adopt an attacking style of play.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.75
Bet on corners
This year the rivals have played three official matches, and in all games more than ten corners were taken between the two of them. We believe that the tendency to take such a number of corners will not be interrupted, and the match will again feature many corner flag deliveries.
Forecast - total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.74
