Spartak vs Khimki. Prediction and Betting Tips for Russian Premier League (May 10, 2021).

Spartak performed very confidently in the first half of the season, leading in the standings for a while. But they couldn't really compete with Zenit for the champion's title, and the fight for gold medals was lost before the season was over. Domenico Tedesco's team now has a different objective: they need to take second place from Loko, so they can get into the Champions League. 

Currently, Spartak are third in the table with 53 points in the asset - they lose the second line to Lokomotiv only due to goal difference, but the Red-greens already played their match in the 29th round. Also, Sochi and Rubin claim second place, and they are just one point behind Spartak, and that means that the end of the season will be exciting.

In the last round, Spartak beat Arsenal Tula 2:1, it was their second victory in a row.

Khimki performed very poorly in the first part of the season, confirming its status as one of the main outsiders of the Premier League. However, with the arrival of Igor Cherevchenkoas the new manager, the situation changed dramatically - the Red-blacks improved the quality of football they play, and quickly got out of the relegation zone, never to return to such a low position.

Khimki are currently in eighth place in the table with 44 points, 21 points ahead of the transitional matches zone. But at the same time, they are not taking part in the competition for European football. In the last round, Khimki beat Ural 1:0, playing almost the entire game short-handed. This was the second victory in a row for Khimki.
