Match Preview
Krylya Sovetov will host Sochi in the Russian Cup at the Samara Arena on Tuesday, 30 September, with both teams seeking to advance in the knockout competition. Krylya Sovetov comes into this match in decent form, having secured two wins in their last five outings, while Sochi has struggled, managing only a single draw and four losses in the same period. This disparity in form could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.
Historically, Krylya Sovetov has had the upper hand in their recent encounters with Sochi, winning four of the last ten meetings, including five victories on Sochi's turf. The home advantage at the Samara Arena could further bolster Krylya's confidence, particularly as they aim to exploit Sochi's defensive vulnerabilities. With both teams showing a tendency to concede goals—evidenced by the fact that both teams scored in five of their last ten head-to-head matches—this fixture could see opportunities for goals, making a bet on both teams to score a compelling angle to consider.
