Spartak Moscow take on the visitors Arsenal Tula at “Otkrytie Arena” in the gameweek five of Russian Premier League. The match will be played in Moscow on Wednesday, August 9th.
It would be quite interesting to watch Spartak Moscow in the forthcoming fight after the team was thrashed 1:5 by Zenit Petersburg. Spartak Moscow was playing on equal during the whole clash, however, managed to lose with four-goal margin having conceded five goals out of five shots on target. This was the first defeat for the Moscow side in this season but it was a real shock. After four rounds played Spartak Moscow sit only on the 10th place in the standings with five points gained and 5-7 goal difference with the main rivals for winning the title being already seven points ahead of them. The club conducted one game at the home field in this season, having defeated Krasnodar 2:0 in it.

Arsenal Tula had a bad start in the season having been broken in three out of four matches. Last weekend “Canoneers” were beaten by the elite division new-comer Tosno with 1:2 scoreline in face of their fans. With four matchdays behind, Miodrag Bozovic‘s team occupies the 14th place in the table with three points taken and 3-5 goal difference. Arsenal Tula have conducted two encounters on the road this season having lost both of them: 0:1 to Lokomotiv Moscow and 1:2 to Rubin Kazan. With last season taken into accounted, the side has not been tasting victories at away grounds for over a year already while the defeating streak on the road has reached 12 clashes and has been lasting since the 6th of November.
I believe that Spartak Moscow will get ready for the upcoming battle and Arsenal Tula won’t have any chances even for a defeat with minimum goals conceded in the Wednesday fight.
Prediction for the match: Spartak Moscow to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
