LiontipsCSKA - Baltika: betting tip (cf 2.80) and bets on the Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season, CSKA habitually relied on achieving maximum results in the Premier League, but did not demonstrate stable play throughout the championship. The result was fifth place, two points behind the top three. In the Cup, the army team stopped in the final of the Path of the regions where they failed to cope with Spartak.
In preparation for the new season, Dmitry Igdisamov gave many players a chance to prove themselves and experimented a lot. CSKA held six control matches, in which they did not win a single victory (three draws and three defeats). Even considering that the matches are friendly, such results are at least alarming. Plus, the atmosphere around the club is not the most rosy right now. Several thousand fans have already signed a petition demanding the dismissal of sports director Evgeny Shevelev, who regularly pursues an unsuccessful transfer policy.
In friendly matches, there were noticeable problems in defense, which have been haunting the army team since last season, when Diveev left in the winter. In six test matches, CSKA conceded 12 goals. In the last sparring match, there was a crushing 2-5 defeat against Dynamo Moscow.
Disqualifications and injuries
Akinfeev and Voronov are on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last six matches of CSKA, the referees showed more than three yellow cards.
- The exchange of goals was in three of the five previous matches of the army
- In three of the last four matches involving CSKA, more than seven shots on goal were recorded.
Approximate composition: Torop – Gayich, Danilov, Lukin, Moises – Kislyak, Barinov – Krugovoy, Oblyakov, Glebov – Gondu.
Current form
Baltika returned to the Premier League last season and fought not for survival, but for a place in the top three. It was not possible to hold the entire championship at the same level, and a decline followed in the second half, but nevertheless the Kaliningrad team can definitely take the final sixth place.
Andrey Talalaev remained at the helm of the Baltic, which in many ways means relying on excellent physical fitness, the functional component of the players and tactics with active pressure. Kaliningrad had no equal in friendly matches: four wins and one draw in five meetings. The defense still looks reliable: only one missed goal in five sparring matches. In the last test match, Baltika drew with Krasnodar (1-1).
The main loss in the squad was the departure of Kevin Andrade to Zenit. At the same time, as one could see from friendly meetings, the defense is still at its best. In general, the core of the team remained the same, plus Kirsha, Mufi and Shnaptseva signed. The acquisitions are largely related to the fact that there was a depth of the squad, which is exactly what the Baltic lacked in the second half of last season.
Disqualifications and injuries
There's only Filin in the Baltic hospital.
Interesting betting trends
- In 23 of the last 29 matches, Baltic players fouled more often than their opponents
- Baltika lost by offsides in three of the previous four matches.
- Baltika has never scored in the first half in nine head-to-head matches.
Approximate composition: Borisko – Mufi, Anderson, Gassama, Varatynov, Beveev – Mendel, I. Petrov, M. Petrov, Yenne – Offor.

Tip and bets
Last season, Andrey Talalaev demonstrated his ability to lead the team to the start of the championship in excellent physical condition. Apparently, nothing has changed. The backbone of the squad was preserved, Baltika looked more than confident in friendly matches, never lost, and most importantly, they played reliably in defense – only one missed goal. It was precisely a well-organized defensive game that brought Kaliningrad success last season.
There are many questions about CSKA's readiness for a successful start. Dmitry Igdisamov experimented a lot in friendly meetings, the Muscovites did not get a single victory. The problems in defense, it seems, could not be solved: 12 goals conceded in six sparring matches. We do not think that at the moment the army team, even taking into account the factor of their field, are ready to confirm the status of the favorite, which was assigned to them by bookmaker analysts. We expect that Baltika will be able to take at least one point away from Moscow.
Our betting tip is that Baltika will not lose by a factor of 1.80
Bet on the total
Baltika habitually relies on pressure to prevent opponents from getting close to their own goal. Andrey Talalaev is still at the helm of the team, the backbone of the squad has been preserved, the Kaliningrad team missed only once in friendly matches. We expect that the guests will be able to impose their football on CSKA today and no more than two goals will be recorded.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.70
Betting on corners
Baltika's style of play tends to keep opponents away from their own goal, which affects the small number of corners played by opponents. It is no coincidence that in three of the four previous matches Kaliningrad won by corners. We believe that there is an underestimation of guests in this indicator in the line, which can be used.
