Tosno take on the visitors CSKA Moscow at "Elektron" in the matchday five of the Russian Premier League. The game will be played in Veliky Novgorod on Wednesday, August 9th.
Last round Tosno gained their first historical triumph in the Russian elite division, having broken Arsenal Tula on the road with 2:1 scoreline. Vagiz Galiulin has become the author of the first goal of the team from Leningrad Oblast in the Russian Premier League. Tosno occupy the 12th place in the elite division table with three points taken and 2-5 goal difference after four matchdays. Concerning the side's performance at the home ground, Tosno conducted only two encounters in front of their supporters at the highest level and lost both of them with the same 0:1 scoreline to Ufa and Zenit Petersburg.

It is quite difficult to oversee CSKA Moscow's results in this season as after three-clash winning streak in a row with 5:0 aggregated score and knocking out Greece's AEK Athens FC in the UEFA Champions League Qualification, last weekend "Armeitsy" were broken 1:2 by Rubin Kazan at the home field. On the eve of the fifth gameweek of the Russian Premier League Viktor Goncharenko's team sits only on the eighth position in the standings with six points earned and 7-6 goal difference. This season CSKA Moscow participated in a single away clash resulting in 3:1 victory over FK Anzi Makhachkala. It should be mentioned that in 2017 "Armeitsy" were beaten not a single time on the road, having got six wins with a draw in seven matches. The side's undefeated away run has been lasting since the 19th of March 2017.
Tosno and CSKA Moscow have never played official head-to-heads. I believe that the recent failure will pull "Armeitsy" together and they will beat the hosts.
Prediction for the match: CSKA Moscow to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
