Rubin
- Rubin's last 5 form line in all competitions is 0 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
- In fact, their recent 10-game form reads 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats, so they have been hard to beat, but hard to finish off.
Krasnodar
- Krasnodar's last 5 form line is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, including a 4-0 home win followed by a 3-4 home defeat last time out.
- Krasnodar's recent 10-game form is far better, with their 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats suggesting they will be the more likely winner on Sunday.
Head-to-Head
- Krasnodar have won two of the last three head-to-head matches, but they have failed to win either of their last two away games against Rubin.
- Rubin have conceded eight goals in six home games in all competitions, so their defense has been susceptible when put under pressure by their opponents.
- Krasnodar have scored 2.33 goals a game away from home in all competitions, while they have conceded 2.67 goals a game, so they are lively but leaky.
Betting Insights
- The draw looks to be the best bet on paper, as Rubin are 3.72 and Krasnodar are 2.12, while the draw is 3.4 at the time of writing.
- However, the best alternative bet looks to be under 2.5 goals, as this could be a cagey matchup at the Ak Bars Arena, Russia, and that price of 1.68 suits a game where two sides might not want to get into a shootout.
Prediction
However, we're going with under 2.5 goals , and both teams to score if the visitors can break through Rubin's stubborn defense first.
