THE PREDICTION

The Russian Premier League concluded last season in bizarre and fairly surreal circumstances. As Russia waged war on Ukraine, following the February invasion, football in Ukraine stopped but Russia continued. Russian clubs have been banned from UEFA competitions for an indefinite amount of time and that has, as unimportant as it seems in the circumstances, killed the competitiveness and meaningfulness with little to play for between top spot and the relegation zone. So, that will have another bearing on the standard and style of these matches - and that must be noted. Spartak Moscow come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw, despite being down to ten men, away to Akhmat Grozny in their most recent outing, last weekend. They did hammer Krasnodar on the opening day of the season by four goals to one. They now face an Orenburg side that, following promotion last season, have won one and lost one of their opening two matches. The visitors hammered a poor ten man Ural Yekaterinburg after a 4-2 loss to Krylya Sovetov on the opening day. Goals should be expected in this one with over 2.5 goals looking likely.
