CSKA Moscow vs Orenburg Prediction & Betting Tips (2 November)

It would be fair to say that CSKA Moscow have been struggling on their own patch of late, with eight of their previous ten Russian Cup fixtures ending in defeat, and they are currently on a run of four games without a goal as well. Orenburg had not been in great form on the road themselves prior their next match, but they had still only lost once in seven.

CSKA Moscow have proven pretty consistent recently when it comes to their involvement in top-flight home games containing three goals or fewer, with 14 of their previous 17 fixtures following this pattern. Considering that 14 of the last 18 Orenburg matches at the top table of the Russian Cup have also been of the under 3.5 goals variety, anything else would come as a shock.

If nothing else, CSKA Moscow are the great entertainers on their own patch, both scoring and conceding during the same 89 minutes in 12 of their last 14 league fixtures. This is definitely something that Orenburg can relate to, as 14 of their previous 18 away matches in the Russian Cup have also delivered goals at both ends, so expect an entertaining encounter.
