Current form
Samaritans have become one of the main discoveries of the opening season in the Premier League. In two rounds, the Wings of the Soviets did not suffer a single defeat, they dispersed peacefully in away matches in Moscow with Dynamo (0:0) and CSKA (1:1). Given the difficult calendar, two points scored can be considered a positive result. Moreover, Sergey Bulatov's team developed a winless streak in the Russian Cup, when they defeated Dynamo Makhachkala with a score of 2 in the first round of the group stage.:1. In all the matches, Krylia Sovetov played second, gave the ball to their opponents, and relied on counterattacks. Such tactics bring results.

Interesting betting trends

Current form
Baltika started in the Premier League with an away defeat to CSKA with a score of 1:2. Andrey Talalev's players did absolutely nothing on the field, and in the end they also noticeably got hooked functionally, they could not maintain a high pace. In the second round, in the home match against Dynamo Moscow, Kaliningrad seemed to have transformed, they played in their usual manner with aggressive pressure, deservedly won 2:1. During the week in the Baltic Cup, they could not take points away from Zenit (0:1). So far, Talalaev's team clearly lacks stability, but at the same time, their calendar was not easy.
Disqualifications and injuries
Filin and Shnaptsev are on the Baltic list of injured.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Latyshonok – Beveev, Anderson, Gassama, Varatynov, Civich – Mendel, I. Petrov, M. Petrov, Titkov – Khil.
At the start of the season, Krylia Sovetov had not lost yet, they had passed a real test of strength, as there were matches against difficult rivals in Moscow, with Dynamo and CSKA. Playing with the second number and sharp counterattacks clearly work for the Samaritans. Baltika has not yet demonstrated a stable game, which was typical for Andrei Talalaev's players last season. Playing as the first number, hacking into the enemy's saturated defenses is clearly not going to be easy for the guests. We believe that we have an equal match in many ways, as such there is no favorite here. There is a high probability of a draw, especially since Krylia Sovetov was at odds with their rivals in the opening two rounds.
Our betting tip is a draw for a coefficient of 3.20
Bet on the total
Both Krylia Sovetov and Baltika pay great attention to defense, and they don't have to wait for an open and overly productive game. We haven't scored more than two goals in the last three head-to-head matches, so we don't expect this series to be interrupted today.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.60

Baltika has three corner defeats in the last four matches. Based on this trend and the bookmakers' odds, we recommend another bet on the game.
