LiontipsKrylia Sovetov vs. Spartak. Russian Cup match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Krylia Sovetov had the worst start in the history of the RPL after three rounds. The Samara team lost all matches in the championship with a goal difference of 1:10. The opponents were Zenit, Rostov and Spartak. Moreover, the team suffered two defeats at home, where it traditionally scores a decent number of points and has repeatedly caused sensations.
Igor Osinkin's charges had a breakthrough of sorts only in the fourth round, when they managed to beat the modest Fakel at home with a score of 2:0. For the first time this season, they managed to play a clean sheet in defense, which can be considered a decent success.
In the Krylia Sovetov Cup, in the first round, they played away against Dynamo Makhachkala and lost with a minimal score of 0:1. The lineup in that game was practically the main one, but they failed to find approaches to the opponent's defensive game - only four shots at the goal and only one of them on target. It should be noted that Samara has not been pleasing in cup battles lately - last season, they lost all three Cup matches on their home field. In general, in this tournament, there were losses in six of the previous seven matches.

Current form
Spartak entered the season under the leadership of Dejan Stankovic , whose debut was unsuccessful. On the road, they failed to score points against Orenburg (0:2). However, they managed to stabilize, first of all, the game in attack, they scored three goals in the championship against Khimki (3:1), Krylia Sovetov (3:0), and in the Cup against Moscow Dynamo (3:0). The Serbian specialist found the optimal combinations on the field, as you can see, in these combinations Sobolev, who was suspended from training, is not such an important link.
In the last round , Spartak failed to beat Akhmat (0:0), but there was no decline in the game. The implementation simply let them down: 70% ball possession, 17 shots on goal, four on target.
It should be noted that in the first round of the Cup against Dynamo, Stankovic did not fully utilize the rotation, the lineup was close to the main one, as was the opponent. It is clear that the team is betting this season not only on possible success in the championship, but also in the national cup.

14.50Tip and bets
As the first round match of the group stage in the Cup showed, Spartak is making a serious bet on the tournament, there was no major rotation of the squad. And in general, the reserves of the "red-whites" are much more solid than those of the upcoming opponent. A little over a week ago, the Muscovites beat the Samara team with a score of 3:0. At the moment, Krylia Sovetov are far from more or less optimal form, the national cup, it seems, as in the past season, is not a priority for the team. We are expecting another convincing victory today from Dejan Stankovic's charges.
Our prediction is Spartak's victory with odds of 1.84
Bet on total
It is obvious that with Stankovic's arrival Spartak is betting on attack. The Muscovites are doing a lot up front, regularly creating dangerous moments, scoring three goals in each of their three winning matches this season, which we do not rule out today. Moreover, in four of the five previous head-to-head encounters the bet was on a total of over 2.5 goals.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.81
Bet on corners
We expect in the betting tip that the game will be under the control of Spartak, which will spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal. In three of the four previous matches, the "red-whites" won on corners, including winning on this indicator against the "wings" in a recent face-to-face meeting within the championship with a score of 6:1.
Betting Tip - Spartak win on corners with a handicap of (-1) with odds of 1.62
