Prediction

  • After a long undefeated run, FC Rubin Kazan lost at home to FC Khimki last time out in a match where they clearly under performed. Leonid Slutsky’s men are, nevertheless, slight favourites to win Saturday’s match.
  • PFC Sochi returned to winning ways last time out, hammering FC Tambov 5-0 at home. Despite their consistent home performances, PFC Sochi's last away win in the RPL was back in September 2020 and they will surely struggle to get the three points here.
  • Despite FC Rubin Kazan’s slight upper hand, a draw is the most likely outcome.

    BTTS here and lots of goals. Sochi are good on set pieces, which is Rubin's main problem. Sochi score consistently (scored in 21 of 24 games this season, failing 2 out of 3 times against the same team in Ural). Rubin with home advantage will score at least once too, Makarov and khvicha are on form, and Rubin are good through the wings and individual skill - which is always tough to defend for Sochi.
