Match Preview
Rostov will host Spartak Moskva in the Russian Cup on July 30, a fixture that promises to be intriguing given the contrasting recent forms of both teams. Rostov has struggled, managing just one win in their last five matches, which has raised concerns about their defensive solidity. In contrast, Spartak Moskva has shown more resilience, drawing three of their last five outings and securing a win in their most recent match.
Historically, Spartak has had the upper hand in their head-to-head encounters, winning six of the last ten meetings, which could weigh heavily on Rostov's confidence as they face a team that has often found success against them. An interesting angle to consider is the potential for goals; seven of their last ten encounters have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that both teams may find the net on Wednesday. With Rostov needing to turn their form around at home, and Spartak looking to build on their recent momentum, this match could be a high-scoring affair.
