The visitors have failed the last autumn fixtures in the national competition and left for the break on the streak of 6 winless rounds in which they drawed 4 times and lost twice. Rostov actively hold friendly matches in winter – they played 6 so far. The team’s friendly record is neither ideal – they featured 1 win, 2 draws, and 3 defeats. Notably, in the last 2 matches, Rostov missed 9 goals, losing to Zenit Petersburg, 0:5, and Ostersunds, 2:4. In 6 friendly meetings, the Russians scored 6 goals and allowed 13.
Both sides do not boast a solid and consistent play in defense this winter, so, goals should be expected tomorrow. The opponents’ managers experiment with their squads, which leads to mistakes in defense and missed goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
