Spartak Moscow hosts FK Rostov in the last match of the 16th round in the Russian Premier League.
Spartak did not get off to a very good start this season … 7th place is a little disappointing but the league is very balanced and Spartak is only 6 points behind the 2nd place with one game in hand (title will probably go to Zenit) … so it is not all that bad. The hosts are in pretty good form at the moment … won 2 games convincingly and then lost by a late goal, 1-0, in the derby against Lokomotiv on the road; not the best of matches but not so bat either.. Spartak is playing well and will be focused to get a win after losing last round. Team news for Spartak say that Insaurralde and Ozbiliz are unavailable.
Bet on Spartak vs. FK Rostov with the highest handicap odds at Pinnacle Sports.
Rostov is second to last in the Premier League and has only 10 points in 15 rounds … for sure they are among the favorites for relegation especially with the horrible defensive statistics, their back line is the worst in the league. But the visitors have improved lately after a nightmare start of the season, are not allowing as many goals and in the last 4 matches lost only once. Still, we need to take into account that they practically met the worst teams in the league in the 4 games, so they don’t deserve too much praise. Team news for Rostov say that Abazov and Yoo are out for today.
Spartak have some problems at the moment but they still have amazing talent in the squad and have played better recently … Rostov is one of the worst 2 teams in the league and are a little inflated by the 5 points in the last 4 matches against the worst teams in the league. The statistics are also relevant in the form that Spartak is undefeated at home (5-3-0) and Rostov winless on the road (0-3-6). My tip will be Spartak to win and also cover a 1 goal asian handicap because Rostov is a team well used to losing with big scores. Correct score prediction: Spartak Moscow – FK Rostov 2-0.
