Russian league week-end special_k's analysis

[special_k]

Friday :

Dinamo Moscow - Tom Tomsk

Tomsk is a home team, this season they didn't win any away game. Dinamo lost at home only once during the 1st matchday, besides it was against spartak moscow. Tomsk is trying to escape relegation this season, but they hope to gain their points in home games. Dinamo are fighting for a place in UEFA cup, they shouldn't lose this game.

Pick 1x, or 1

FC Moscow - Spartak Nalchik

Nalchik gained only 6 points this season in away games. They lost all their games in Moscow this season. FC Moscow gained a hard victory against Khimki last week-end. The team is really playing very well now. they bought Maxi Lopez from Barcelona and Maxi Rodriguez (a guys from atarting 11 of Argentina u21). They should win this home game.

pick 1 or 1x

Saturday

Saturn - Khimki

Saturn are currently on the run of 5 games without defeat. Their form of the moment is great and they play very good quality football. They lost only once at home. khimki won only one away game and they don't have a potential to win this game.

pick 1x

Luch energia - Krylia sovetov samara.

This is a hard game to predict. Both teams are in crisis now. Krylia sovetov didn't win for 2.5 last months, the same is for Luch energia. But Luch played their 4 last games away and 3/4 against teams from top 6. This is very hard to play Luch away because they are from Vladivostok and the time difference with european part of Russia is around 6-7 hours. I don't think that Krylia Sovetov may win.

pick 1x

Amkar - Rubin

Amkar is one of the best home teams of the Russian league this season. They lost only once against Spartak. Rubin beat Spartak last week-end. But this doen't mean, that the team is really strong. Firstly, the half of the Spartak team got food intoxication before the game, and, secondly, spartak ws sparing forces for the Celtic game. Besides, Rubin gained only 5 points in away games this season vs 23 they got in home games. Amkar strikers Peev and Kushev are in form now and they were called in Bulgarian team for EURO qualification matches.

pick 1x

Sunday

Zenit - Kuban

There are not a lot of things to be told about this game. A leader against an outsider. 2 weeks ago kuban lost an away game to another leader Spartak moscow 0-4. This result shows their real forces. i think that sunday's result will be queit similar to this one. Zenit won 7 games in a row now (including UEFA cup and Russian cup).Besides, their leaders got the rest yesterday for UEFA cup game

pick zenit on (-1.5) handicap

Spartak moscow - CSKA Moscow

the only possible pick for this game is not to bet on it. This is the biggest derby in Russia and everything can happen. But the odds for away win are too high 2.7. The stadium will be 50/50, so like in their previous game there is no really a home game. Spartak couldn't beat CSKA for 6 last years ( including cup and super cup games). Besides they are tired after the Celtic game. For CSKA this game is crucial - this is their last hope to end up this season in the Champion's league zone.

very risky but try x2

P.S. guys please tell me if someone ever used my picks for Russian league or I write them for nothing. So far I got 0 comments for my analysis although I got 19/20 from my predictions for this competition

[special_k]

Yes it's up to you to chose the games. As for away wins - maybe Lokomotiv in Rostov and CSKA against Spartak. Some draws as well, thus I put 1x, but I hardly see away wins in the game I analysed. Maybe Rubin, but personnaly I don't think so

[hunt3r]

Krylia sovetov samara is a team that suprise zenit is ok .. good luck

[special_k]

Krylia Sovetov sold their first keeper to Saturn. he was really good and without him they will conceed much more goals

[special_k]

Friday 2/2 Dinamo and FC Moscow won

[hunt3r]
