CSKA Moscow hosts Espanyol in round 2 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 3rd at Arena CSKA (Moscow)
CSKA could not gain a single point in the first game of the Europa League. The Red-Blues held their first game in a foreign field against Ludogorets and lost with a 1:5 score. As a result, the team took the last 4th place in Group H. As for the Russian Premier League, CSKA held 11 games and earned 25 points. With this indicator, the club is located on the first line in the standings. Let’s recall that CSKA broke Alania’s resistance in the 1/16 finals of the Russian Cup of Russia (3:1). We will note that the club suffered only one defeat in the last 8 meetings. In the home field, the team of Goncharenko has not known setbacks for 9 matches since April 24, having gained 7 wins and 2 draws.

Espanyol tied with Ferencvaros in the first home game of the Europa League (1:1). The club has 1 point in its assets and takes 2nd place in Group H. As for Spanish LaLiga, the Blanquiazules held 7 matches and earned only 5 points. With this result, Espanyol takes 18th place in the Spanish league standings. The Spaniards are in crisis now - they have won only 1 of the last 8 matches of the season.
CSKA and Espanyol have not opposed each other yet. I think that the Muscovites will be able to beat crisis rivals at home. Bet: the victory of CSKA.
Prediction for the match: CSKA Moscow to win
