Command Analysis
PFC Sochi
Russian FederationCurrent form
Since the end of October last year, Sochi has been hosting great matches. The team has not lost in regular time for 11 consecutive matches. It can be seen that the team is serious about returning to the RPL and even gives their best in every friendly game. Currently, in the First League, the club is on the fourth line of the rating, which gives the right to play play-off matches. The gap from the second place, which allows you to directly enter the Premier League, is six points. It is more than possible to win back such a handicap with the game that the team is demonstrating.
The nominal hosts play fast and attacking football, and it doesn't matter which opponent is in front of them. It is unlikely that the team will change this tactic. On February 17, there was a game with CSKA, in which a goalless draw was recorded. Of course, the players don't want to lose in the upcoming match either.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sochi has no problems with the squad on the eve of the friendly match.
Interesting betting trends
- Sochi has not lost a single match in 2025.

Rubin Kazan
Russian FederationCurrent form
Rubin started the friendly matches with two wins, but towards the end of the training camp their results deteriorated significantly. In the last match against the DPRK national team, Rashid Rakhimov's team lost heavily with a score of 1:4. Kazan has problems in all lines, and, of course, it is impossible to approach the continuation of the season in the Premier League with such a game. There are problems with concentration both offensively and defensively. After the first round, the team is in the very center of the standings — eighth place. It will be very difficult to save it if the game does not improve. As such, the team does not have the main backbone. The head coach is constantly experimenting, and it is difficult to understand who is considered a player in the main squad.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jukic won't be able to help his team due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Rubin cannot win three matches in a row
- Kazan have conceded in the last three matches.
Approximate composition: Staver — Kabutov, Nizhegorodov, Gritsaenko, Bezrukov — Ivanov, Yochich, Apshatsev — Vada, Chuny, Mukba.

1.80Tip and bets
The teams have already played friendly matches against each other more than once and constantly broke through the riding totals. The offensive game is not so cool at the current training camp. In the last three games with Sochi, no more than two goals were scored, while Rubin had such a bet in three of the five matches played. We are inclined to believe that in the upcoming match, the opponents will also not rage in the opponent's penalty area and will not be able to score many goals.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.17
Betting on the outcome
Rubin is a huge favorite in the match, but based on the Kazan club's performance, we can safely say that the playing form is not perfect. Sochi conducts friendly matches more productively, and, as we believe, in the upcoming match the nominal hosts will be able at least not to lose and extend their unbeaten streak.
Our forecast is that Sochi will not lose with a coefficient of 1.89
Betting on corners
Judging by our description, the game is likely to be a cautious one, and the clubs will avoid serving from the corner flag. We will place another bet on the grassroots total in this indicator.
Our forecast is a total of less than 8.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.77
