Tip of the day

Rubin Kazan vs CSKA Moskva 1 DNB LostExtremely difficult match to predict is that derby in Russian Premier League. First Rubin Kazan shows better play and results in last few games. However, if we take a look at the stats between those two clubs - it is not in hosts benefit at all.

CSKA won in last two meetings and haven't lost six games in a row against Rubin.

Both teams lost in midweek matches for Russian Cup, with Rubin played with their second team against 2nd division Ural and CSKA against 5 in the Premier League standing Samara.

Both teams have not huge problems in the squads. For CSKA will play again Wagner and Carvalho, Dominguesh is back for Rubin.

It is clear for me that nobody can say how this match will end. But I will back host here. The reasons for that are simple. First, the form they showed last two weeks, second the main players rested on Wednesday and finally Rubin will play on their stadium.

So a home win here, but secured with DNB for 1.75 coefficient.
