Football – Russia – Premier League Betting Tips

Krasnodar return to domestic Russian Premier League football on Sunday when they take on Amkar Perm when the two teams meet at the Stadion FK Krasnodar with the hosts looking to leapfrog their opponents in the Russian top flight.

Krasnodar have also made a good start in the Europa League with two wins from their first three matches as they’ve collected wins over Salzburg away from home and a thumping 5-2 home win over Nice. However, they went down to a 1-0 defeat to German club Schalke during the week so they’ll be keen to bounce back in the league here.

Back to the Russian Premier League, and Krasnodar possess a strong home record of  4-0-1 11/3 having recorded wins over Tom Tomsk, Terek Grozny, Rostov and Rubin Kazan and they could continue their momentum here.

Visitors Amkar have put together a five-match unbeaten run in the Russian top flight as they head into this top half clash with Krasnodar following wins over Tom Tomsk and Terek Grozny along with stalemates against Krylya Sovetov, Ufa and Lokomotiv Moscow.

Amkar’s away record has been solid enough so far this season as they’ve suffered just one defeat on their travels to date amidst an overall record of  1-3-1 4/5, which was a 3-0 loss at Zenit which is no disgrace as Zenit currently sit joint top of the division.

The last time they were at Krasnodar though, they lost 1-0 at the Stadion FK Krasnodar and they could suffer a similar fate this time around on Sunday evening.
