NextGOAL tip: CSKA Moskva -0.25 · 1 stars
Rostov have lost 2 in a row (1-4, 0-1), but CSKA Moskva's defense is not an impenetrable wall either, as they concede goals in the 46-60 minute period, accounting for 26% of all their conceded goals, which is the highest proportion in the league. In the last 5 meetings between the two sides, 4 have ended with no more than 2 goals (0-0, 1-1, 1-0, 0-0). This match is likely to be tight and contested in phases rather than one team dominating. CSKA Moskva are unbeaten in 2 consecutive matches, but their recent form does not suggest a comfortable win. As for Rostov, who have lost 2 in a row, they are not so weak as to be overwhelmed. The data for both teams is still too thin to make a definitive call, but the system's angle still favors CSKA Moskva, who are favorites and have an unbeaten record this season.
