Command Analysis
Fakel
Russian FederationCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Fakel was considered one of the main candidates for relegation – this status has not yet been fully questioned. With 14 points, Dmitry Pyatibratov’s team is in 14th place in the table and is four points away from the direct relegation zone, the saving 12th place is two points away – such a handicap can be made up today. In the last round, Fakel played a goalless draw with Makhachkala Dynamo, extending the winless streak to six matches.

The hosts have no problems with the squad.

CSKA Moscow

At the moment, Marko Nikolic team is in sixth place in the table with 28 points and is four points behind fifth-placed Dynamo, while third-placed Spartak is nine points ahead – it will be very difficult to make up for such a handicap.

CSKA is outside the top five and gradually the competitors are pulling away, the "army men" have no right to make a mistake in such a situation. It is obvious that the guests will not lack motivation and they will play only to win - CSKA will definitely not have an easy match, Fakel knows how to impose a fight at home, but with experience and class the "army men" are quite capable of snatching such an important three points, the "blue-whites" are clearly not at the peak of their form now.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Forecast - CSKA victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89
Bet on total
CSKA will undoubtedly play only for victory today in an attempt not to fall further behind their competitors and not to turn the spring part of the championship into a formality. It is obvious that the “army men” will be maximally aggressive in front and it is unlikely that “Fakel” has a chance to play to zero in such a match, there are enough problems in defense. At the same time, the “blue-whites” are distinguished by excellent implementation and will certainly respond with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.35
Bet on corners
CSKA is the favorite and will probably spend most of the match attacking - the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - CSKA win on corners. This bet is offered for 1.79
