Prediction
Spartak have a superior home record against Krasnodar, but the visitors have started the season in fine fashion, so I'm sticking with the bet on Under 2.5 goals at 2.12 , an alternative which makes sense given the importance of this matchup and the fact that both sides have enough firepower to hurt the other.
