Tambov hosts Khimki in round 3 of the Russian Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 18th at Mordovia Arena (Saransk)
Tambov has not yet scored points this season, but this is primarily due to the difficult calendar because CSKA and Rostov are very serious rivals. As for the game, Tambov looked nice, especially in the attack. They generally crushed the army team and had to score not one goal into the net of Akinfeev, but at least two or even three, if fortune turned to face them. The team is staffed quite well, a number of good acquisitions were made in the offseason, and it seems to me that Tambov will soon leave the bottom of the standings.

In the offseason, Khimki lost the main creator of its success, coach Sergei Yuran, who was fired as a result of a very ugly story. Dmitry Gunko was appointed to his place, and he has practically no experience as the head coach of serious teams, not counting his short and unsuccessful stay in the crisis Spartak, where he was nothing more than a “temporary worker”. By the way, the players of the club did not approve of this castling. In general, the atmosphere in the team is not good. And the team shows deplorable results. CSKA beat them very easily, and although Sochi did not manage to win, they played the whole match and looked much cooler against the background of Khimki. I think Khimki will go back to where they got to the RPL at the end of the season.
Tambov seems to me to be a much more efficient team both in terms of the squad and in terms of the game. I think they are quite capable of not losing to Khimki, which looked very weak in all lines in the first two rounds. Tambovites show themselves well in the attack, where they have gathered quite decent performers. I think they will be able to score a goal, which will provide this bet at least a return.
Prediction for the match: Tambov to win with 0.0 handicap
