Rostov vs Krylya Sovetov Preview, Predictions & Betting Tips

Rostov are set to ease past struggling Krylya Sovetov in their Russian Premier League clash at the Rostov Arena. The hosts are unbeaten this season and at odds of 1.60, are tipped to secure the victory over the visitors, who have lost their last three matches.

FC Rostov Form & Team News

Rostov were held to a 2-2 draw at Ural in their previous Russian Premier League outing. They came from behind twice with Eldor Shomurodov scoring midway through the second half while Bjorn Sigudarsson grabbed an equaliser five minutes from time.

Valeri Karpin’s men remain unbeaten in the league this season with two wins and as many draws from four matches. Their fine form at the start of the season has them at good value of 1.60 for the win on Monday.

Eldor Shomurodov has been excellent for Rostov this season with three goals in four matches. He should continue as the lone man in attack while Bjorn Sigudarsson could be handed a start after netting the equaliser last time out.

PFC Krylya Sovetov Form & Team News

Krylya Sovetov are coming off a 2-1 home defeat against Lokomotiv Moscow last time out in the Russian Premier League. Alexander Sobolev had drawn them level on 88 minutes after going behind in the first half, but they conceded a dramatic winner four minutes into added time.

Midorag Bozovic's men have been woeful lately having lost their last three matches. They have also lost their last seven away matches in the Premier League, placing them at odds of 6.00 for an unlikely win at Rostov while a draw is valued at 3.60.

The major problem for Krylya has been the defence having conceded seven goals in their last three matches. Despite their poor showing in recent matches, Maksim Karpov and Nikita Chernov should continue their central defensive partnership while Alexander Sobolev is set to lead the line following his goal against Lokomotiv.

Rostov vs Krylya Sovetov Head to Head

There have been 26 previous matches between Rostov and Krylya Sovetov with both teams claiming nine wins each with eight draws. Krylya claimed a 1-0 victory in the most recent meeting between both teams, although Rostov would consider themselves unlucky to have lost having edged the possession and had more attempts on goal (13-6).

Rostov vs Krylya Sovetov Match Up

Eldor Shomurodov will be the one to watch for Rostov on Monday having made a superb start to the season. The striker has found the net three times and should combine well with Bjorn Sigudarsson to get the better of the Krylya backline.

Krylya Sovetov have been poor in defence this season and should struggle to cope with the excellent Eldor Shomurodov up front for Rostov. At the other end of the pitch, Alexander Sobolev appears to be their major attacking threat but the striker could find himself isolated in attack.

Rostov vs Krylya Sovetov Key Statistics

Rostov have won 2 of their last 3 home matches (Russian Premier League).
Rostov’s Eldor Shomurodov has scored 3 goals in his last 4 matches (Russian Premier League).
Krylya have lost their last 7 away matches (Russian Premier League).

Verdict

Rostov v Krylia Sovetov

Both teams have had contrasting fortunes this season with Rostov unbeaten in four matches while Krylya have lost their last three. I am tipping a home win here at odds of 1.60 while Eldor Shomurodov backed in the goalscorers market.
