Wednesday brings us action from the Russian second tier and a FNL clash between Chayka and Mordovia Saransk as the betting tips continue at the Stadion Central’nyj im. I.P. Chayka.
Chayka Prediction – Can Chayka bounce back?
Following a narrow 3-2 defeat away from home at SKA Khabarovsk last time out in the Russian second tier, Wednesday night’s hosts, Chayka, will no doubt be eager to bounce back with all three points when they entertain bottom club, Mordovia Saransk, at their Stadion Central’nyj im. I.P. Chayka.
Indeed, Chayka have actually lost 3 of their last 4 matches in the FNL having also previously suffered defeats to league leaders, Torpedo Moscow and Fakel, but the hosts have a great opportunity to return to winning ways this evening against a poor Mordovia Saransk.
Chayka have more or less held their own so far in this season’s Russian second tier campaign as their current mid-table position indicates, and while they’ve posted mixed results on home turf at their Stadion Central’nyj im. I.P. Chayka so far, they should be able to edge out a result here this evening.
A home record of 4-2-4 9/9 includes recent wins against Spartak Moscow B and Baltika, while forwards Korotaev and Belous (3 goals apiece), look the most likely to notch for the hosts in this one.
Mordovia Saransk Prediction – Can Mordovia Saransk lift off bottom?
As mentioned earlier, visitors Mordovia Saransk currently sit bottom of the Russian FNL having had to endure a difficult season to date which includes failing to win any of their last 8 matches overall in the domestic second tier.
This poor run of form has resulted in Saransk losing 6 of these last 8 matches, so confidence is expected to be at an all-time low amongst the Mordovia Saransk camp as they seek to put a halt to this terrible run.
Mordovia Saransk have managed to record just 3 league wins all season to date, 2 of which were achieved on home turf at their Mordovia Arena, while gaining just 1 away win this term amidst a poor record on the road of 1-3-6 8/18.
Results overall at this level have been quite simply woeful for the visitors as they’ve actually won just 5 of their last 34 matches in the FNL, while on their travels, they’ve won just 1 of their last 16 and come into this clash having lost their last 4 matches on the trot away from home.
Key-Facts – Chayka vs Mordovia Saransk
- Chayka have lost just 2 of their last 8 home matches in the FNL
- Mordovia Saranska have won just 5 of their last 34 matches in the FNL
- Mordovia Saranska have won just 1 of their last 16 away from home
Betting Tips Verdict
All roads therefore point towards a home win here for Chayka.
