Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals

1.85Bet period 2: CSKA will not lose
The hosts have not lost in the second period for seven consecutive matches.
1.37Tip and bets
CSKA has gained excellent form and has been gaining points almost constantly lately. The army has improved things defensively, although they still have problems offensively. Spartak is still playing unstable and cannot show its maximum due to injuries to the leaders. The Red and white have beaten their opponents twice this season, but now we believe in the success of the red and blue.
Betting Tip - CSKA wins with an Asian handicap (0) on goals in 1.65
CSKA scores few goals and performs well defensively. In the last ten games, Igor Nikitin's team conceded only 19 goals, which is pretty good for the hosts, considering their performance at the start of the regular season. Spartak lacks offensive leaders, but the red-whites have a strong goalkeeper and they are able to hold off the pressure of the army. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
The bet is a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.85
