CSKA Moscow needs a win only at this game, since their 5th spot rival FC Moscow has a chance of beating their city rival Dinamo at home. In that case, CSKA would lose their chance of competing in Europe with a failure in this game. In the last round, they defeated Spartak Moscow by 3:2, while they turned the game around against Wolfsburg last Wednesday and won by 2:1, staying in the race for the CL 1/8 finals. They shouldn’t allow themselves the luxury of slipping up at home in such an important game, so we should expect a great performance by this Moscow side and their 3rd consecutive win.
Relaxed to Moscow
Saturn doesn’t at all care about the outcome of this game since this team will end up 7th even if they lose. Therefore, their players will be fully relaxed and without pressure. Regardless of the fact the points aren’t necessary for them, we can’t expect them to play a game without desire and easily give up all 3 points to the hosts, who need a win only from this match. Saturn has shined at home this season beating many opponents there, while they were just partially good on the road.
No major problems so far
CSKA hasn’t had any major problems in the clashes with Saturn. They very easily won games, having 11 wins, 8 draws and only 2 draws in this decade against them. They have won their 6 previous matches at home, while they haven’t conceded a goal against Saturn in the previous 3. I expect CSKA to win, which would help them get to the 3rd qualifying round of Europa league next season.
