Krasnodar Prediction
Krasnodar occupy second place in the Russian top flight but are six points behind the league leaders, Zenit, ahead of their Monday night clash with Orenburg, but the hosts have a game in hand over Zenit and will be looking to take all three points here in order to keep the pressure on at the top of the division.
The hosts also hold a slender one point over 3rd placed CSKA Moscow, and as Krasnodar occupy one of the two automatic Champions League spots, the hosts will also be motivated to do well here – they lost 2-1 away at Spanish club Valencia in the first leg of the round of 16 in the Europa League last week so they’ll want to bounce back with a win here.
Overall results in the domestic Premier League have been solid for the hosts who are unbeaten in their last seven matches, which include wins against CSKA Moscow, Yenisey, Arsenal Tula and Ural, while their home record stands at 5-2-2 16/6 which include four clean sheets on home turf to date.
- Krasnodar are unbeaten in their last 7 matches overall in the Premier League
- The hosts have kept four clean sheets on home turf to date
- Orenburg have lost 3 of their last 4 matches in the Premier League
Orenburg Prediction
Orenburg find themselves in the bottom half of the Russian top flight and just one league position and a single point above the relegation play-off positions as they make their way to face Krasnodar in Monday night’s encounter against the 2nd placed team.
Three defeats from their last four matches have plunged the visitors back into the relegation mix as they’ve fallen to losses against Ural, Lokomotiv Moscow and Anzhi, while away from home, Orenburg have lost their last two matches on the road on the trot, so they’ll be looking to avoid a third away defeat on the trot here on Monday night.
However, this may be easier said than done as the visitors have gained just one win from their last six matches on their travels which was a 1-0 win at 7th placed Rostov, but an away record of 3-2-4 12/11 looks fairly inconsistent, and they’ll do well to get anything from Krasnodar on Monday.
The visitors have kept just two clean sheets away from home so far this season which were against teams sitting outside the top five of the division, and they’ve failed to beat Krasnodar at the Stadion FK Krasnodar inn their last three encounters in all competitions.
Betting Tips Verdict
Krasnodar will be keen to hang onto 2nd place with a win here and Orenburg look powerless to stop them.
