NextGOAL tip: Krasnodar -1 · 1 stars
Of the last 6 meetings, 4 ended with a margin of no more than 1 goal, but the last two at home were both Krasnodar wins, 3-2 and 5-0. This time it moves to Fakel's home, where the last 2 meetings ended 0-0. Current form, however, is polar opposite: Fakel are winless in 6 league games (2 draws, 4 losses), scoring just 3 goals in total, while Krasnodar are on a 6-match winning run, scoring 11 and conceding 4. The hosts score most often between the 76th and 90th minute, with 33%, but concede 22% between the 16th and 30th minute, a period when Krasnodar often step up their game. So the visitors are likely to dominate possession and attack, and if they break through a defense that concedes an average of 1.2 goals per game, the margin could widen.
