CSKA - Spartak: betting tip (cf 3.20) and bets on the Premier League match

Current form

Before the start of the season, CSKA was not among the obvious contenders for the championship title – in the summer, the army team changed their mentor and rebuilt the squad quite seriously. However, Fabio Celestini's team spent the starting segment at a very high level – they won the Russian Super Cup, then began to regularly score points in the championship, while showing very high-level football.

Gradually, CSKA increased, already during the season it received a good boost and played only a few weak matches – the most unexpected was the 0:1 defeat against Rostov in the eighth round. However, after this setback, the Army team scored two consecutive victories over Sochi (3:1) and Baltika (1:0), thus managing to break out on the first line in the table, but Lokomotiv and Krasnodar again pulled ahead due to victories in the 11th round.

Last week, CSKA met with Lokomotiv in the derby as part of the Russian Cup. Even before this match, the Army team felt confident in the group and it should not have been difficult for them to get a ticket to the playoffs on the way to the RPL. However, in the confrontation with the railwaymen, CSKA did not perform well with the most combative squad – after a goalless draw, the Army team turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout and guaranteed themselves the playoffs.

Current form

Spartak, unlike its current rival, approached the start of the season as a clear contender for the championship title and certainly set maximum goals for itself, not conceding in terms of player selection to any of its direct competitors. However, at the start of the championship, the red and white faced difficulties and spent a lot of time trying to get in shape.

Recently, Spartak has seriously improved and joined the championship race. Having beaten Krylia Sovetov (2:1) and Paris NN (3:0) in the last two rounds, the red and white scored 18 points and currently occupy fifth place in the table. Spartak are five points behind the first Locomotive and the second Krasnodar, but the competitors have already played their matches in the 11th round.

Last week, Spartak met Paris NN in the fifth round of the Russian Cup. In the group, the red and white were considered the undisputed favorites, but they lost the first place to Dynamo Makhachkala. However, only Rostov could seriously threaten Spartak's second place, but a 2-1 victory over Paris NN secured Dejan Stankovich's team a ticket to the playoffs on the way to the RPL.
