Match Preview
As Spartak Moskva prepares to host Baltika in the Russian Premier League on Saturday, the home side will be keen to build on their recent form. Spartak's last five matches have seen them secure two wins, with a draw and two losses, indicating a mixed bag of results. However, their home advantage at Otkrytiye Arena could play a crucial role, especially given their historical dominance over Baltika, winning three of the last five encounters at home.
On the other hand, Baltika arrives with a less favourable record, having struggled to find consistency in their last five matches, managing just one win. The visitors will need to tighten their defence, as they have conceded goals in their last few outings, which could be a significant factor against a Spartak side that has shown flashes of attacking prowess. With both teams having a tendency to find the net, the match could see goals at both ends, making the "Both Teams To Score" market an intriguing angle to consider.
