Command Analysis

FC Krasnodar

Current form
Krasnodar had a chance to win its first championship last season, but did not perform well in the final matches of the championship and lost the RPL gold to Zenit St. Petersburg. Now the Southerners will try to challenge the reigning champion for the second time. So far, everything is going well for Murad Musayev's wards - the club takes the first place in the standings and surpasses Zenit in additional indicators. Unlike their competitors, the Bulls are not particularly active in the transfer market. Obviously, the bet will be placed on the current leaders of the team. In recent friendly matches, the nominal hosts managed to beat Dynamo Moscow (1:0) and CSKA Moscow (2:1), and the youth team defeated the modest Chelyabinsk (3:2).

FC Astana

Current form
Astana became the only representative of Kazakhstan in the main stage of the European Cup this season, but failed to perform successfully in the Conference League.

1.52Tip and bets
Krasnodar performed well in the first half of the Russian championship and continue to achieve successful results in friendly matches. We managed to beat CSKA and Dynamo, so victory is extremely likely in the duel with Astana. The nominal guests failed to achieve their goals either in European competitions or in the championship, and in the last friendly match, the vice-champion of Kazakhstan lost heavily to Spartak Moscow. We believe that Murad Musayev's team will be stronger in this confrontation.
